Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

THE GOOD:
Everything about this game is magic. The graphics were a great upgrade from other games in the series. As this being one of the last games on the SNES, it surely made the system go out with a bang. The character models, attacks, towns, environments and NPCs gave this game was to be the most gorgeous looking RPG of the gaming generation. At least, in the year of 1996.

Turning away from the graphics, there are hundreds more great qualities that this game has to offer. The gameplay, for one. This game is a true RPG and the first in the line of Mario RPG games. But its sequels, the Paper Mario series and the Super Star Saga, come no where as close to how great this game is.

The characters. Newcomers, Geno and Mallow join your party to rid the world of evil from the evil Smithy Gang.

Geno is an action figure that belongs to Gaz that was brought to life by the heavens to help Mario on his journey.

Mallow, a clumsy teenage...

THE GOOD:
Well it's a Mario game

You can use Bowser as one of your partners.

The graphics ain't bad especially for s SNES game.

It's the first Mario game in 3D (I think)

THE BAD:
Overated game

Nintendo and Square working toghether? Give me a break.

Sometimes it's easy to get lost.

This game is just boring.

SUMMARY:
Difficulty: Hard

Best Mario game ever? What a joke. I could come up with atleast 10 Mario games that are much better than this one. You see after I saw all the hype about this game I decided to try it for myself and it was nothing except a dissapointment. One thing that really annoys me is that sometimes it's easy to get lost. But the main flaw in this is that it's just not fun. But this isn't a bad game by any means.

If you've played Paper Mario and Paper Mario : Thousand Year Door (Which both are much better than this) and later on play this game then you will be...

Game overview
One day Toadstool was picking flowers outside of Mario's house. Storm clouds can be seen overhead and Bowser's Clown Copter can be seen a short distance from Toadstool. Suddenly, Bowser came close and kidnapped Toadstool. After a match on Bowser's chandeliers, Mario tries to untie Toadstool and giant sword crashed into Bowser's Keep. Bowser, Mario, and Toadstool were then flung in opposite directions, Mario lands at his house, then returns to Bowser's Keep and sees the huge sword. The sword's drop through the sky has shattered the Star Road, and Mario sets off in a wild adventure to find the 7 star pieces and repair the Star Road before it's to late.

THE BAD:
Luigi is not in it

SUMMARY:
This is the first RPG that Mario has starred in. He must go around the world and collect the seven pieces of the Star Road so that he can repair it and allow people wishes to come true again. Why doing so, he must stop his new nemesis, Smithy, from completely destroying his world.

Along the way, Mario is joined by four characters. Two, we already know. Mario is joined by Princess Toadstool, of the Mushroom Kingdom, and his arch-nemesis, Bowser. He is also joined by Geno, a spirit from the Star Road, and Mallow, a small cloud person who controls weather.

The gameplay is a lot like a RPG. You battle enemies, and gain...
