Graphics: 9: At the time of this games creation other games at the time were either lack luster or on any of the SEGA systems. Nintendo really knocked it out of the park with this one. The only problem I had with the graphics is how I could get stuck behind certain objects and never really know the layout due to a lack of camera controls.

Sound: 9: Love the music and sound effects, though there are the occasional sound glitches.

Addictiveness: 10: This is really a game that I find myself coming back to time after time. I am a huge fan of the RPG genre as a whole and this particular RPG ranks among my top favorites. I never get tired of all the things to do in this game.

Story: 9: Its fairly difficult to write a story involving Mario that doesn't turn into some goofy face-rolling adventure. However that is a big part of this games charm. The comedy is well placed and well written. Other than the main characters the character designs are really two dimensional.

Depth: 7: As much as I enjoy this game I can't really give it more than a 7. The reason for why your fighting the Smithy Gang is negligible. The only reason there was a problem at all is because the accidentally crashed through the star road. I would have liked a better reason for why everything was going wrong.

Difficulty: 4: This game is easy, but not ridiculously easy. With enough grinding any enemy can be beat whether or not you have the right equipment. Even the final boss is a push over with the easily found "Ultimate" items.

Overall: 8: Even though it isn't a perfect game, this game should bring entertainment to any RPG fan.

Nice review I like that game a lot and that's a good review  

I loved Mario RPG. It was something nobody expected from a Mario game. RPG? No way. Mario was created by adventure gaming. Did not expect an RPG out of him. But they did great with it. Good job.
