    This game re-describes our beloved Mario.

    This game can really give you an idea of what Mario is made of! The levels are beautifully crafted and the graphics are pretty good for a SNES game! This might not be the best Mario game made, but the retro RPG elements that are in the game makes it different from all the others. The music is pretty good, but not what it really should be in my opinion; however the battle music is just right! The looks of the characters are very interesting, and they all look like toys! I give Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars a superb score of 4.5/5 because it's a unique game in every way, but there are some problems with it. I would like to point out that the game can be finished in a short time if you're really good at RPG's. 8-10 hours at my best guess. It also depends how long it takes you to solve the puzzles and how long you take to battle enemies, which might multiply the hours I listed by two. The ideas and story in the game are quite different, and this time Bowser helps Mario for the first time! The younger generation might not appreciate the game as much as those who grew up with Mario, but it sure would provide a history lesson. As a final comment, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is a superb game in every way. Buying this game for 8 dollars is almost a steal! Mario fans will certainly be pleased in owning Mario's last appearance on the SNES, but Mario's first RPG game that has inspired some of the most incredible sequels! If anyone gets this game, it will certainly be hard to put down!

      Please note that this review was done on the Wii, using the Gamecube controller.If you love all things Mario or Square RPG's, definitely don't miss out on this game.  Just don't walk into it expecting the style or scope of RPG's since its release, and you won't be disappointed.GRAPHICSSuper Mario RPG is a really mixed bag, graphically.  Some of the towns and environments look great, and I love the simple, cartoonish style similar to Super Mario World.  However, character designs (especially for ...

      Can almost guarantee it's better than Sonic Chronicles 0

      Why am I reviewing a 12-odd year old SNES game? Well it came out a few weeks ago to this day on the Wii Virtual Console and I promised that I’d attempt to review every 2008 release that I spent an adequate amount of time on, so here we go. It certainly dominated any free time I could’ve used to play newer games, and killed the possibility of me being able to adequately review Mass Effect, proving that simplicity and charm can put the most epic, big-budget, blockbuster RPG experience of the moder...
