Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga

[Keith Justice]

Just picked it up used and on employee discount from a friend for 15 bucks. After the beaming enthusiasm Gaming Steve gave this game I had to check it out.

And I don't mean the DS Sequel that he reviewed in that PodCast.

Anyone else jam on this?

Can't find the review, but I've heard great things about both these games. Maybe I'll pick 'em up...let me know what you think, Keith.

I'm barely anywhere in it. But overall the look and feel is refreshing from what I'm used to in an RPG.

From moment to moment the visuals are fresh and endearing. I can't help but smile at near every moment of this game as they harness Mario's core fun and nostalgic greatness.

I played this at gameStop and it was TOO cute.

but i still hate RPGs

I've heard good things about this game. Never played it myself though.

I've only played a little bit of it. There's suposed to be a LOT of inside jokes between the Mario Bros. Like how Mario always outshines Luigi.

There's that. In the beginning, Mario, Luigi and I are catching a ride from Bowser and he tells Mario to come to the bridge and "Uuuuh.. you 'the Green Guy!'"

Definately some laugh out loud moments.

Listen to the above linked PodCast. You'll get a good impression of it.

I really haven't gotten to the meat of the game yet, but the gameplay and presentation are practically flawless. The whole thing continues to just play out like a very endearing cartoon that's genuinely funny.

The guy who I consider the biggest authority on the CyberWeb, Gaming Steve, declares this to be one of his all time favorites and I'm beginning to see why.

It's just so.... fresh and accessible. Short learning curve but definately skill based in that you gotta keep your twitch skills on while jammin'.

Great distraction for gaming while you're chillin'.
