The Other Brothers easily attracts with its large level design and stylish pixels. However, the ride is short, and camera and enemy issues strip it of its fun.

A great idea ruined by poor controls and a bad level design. The concept has been proven right many times before, but this time it needs extra polishing.

With all the comparisons and nods to Super Mario Bros., mobile gamers might wonder if The Other Brothers is their platformer's Mario. I wouldn't go that far, but 3D Attack's long-awaited entry in the house that Mario built is charming, humorous, and most importantly, feels darn good in motion. Give it time to grow and I foresee it getting even better.
