You knew this review was coming folks. I did a review on Superstar Saga, how could I not do one on this masterpiece? Alright, first up are graphics. The graphics look pretty amazing. Mario and Luigi have very nice, animated poses. For some reason I've also always loved the fact that Mario and Luigi dance during battles. Graphics gets a 9. Now, for one of the most amazing parts of this game: sound. The sound is AMAZING. The battle theme: LOVE IT. The boss theme: CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT. The final battle theme: AWESOME. Sound gets a 10. Now, for addictiveness. Mario & Luigi RPG games have always been super addicting. Like I said in my review for Superstar Saga, I could play these games tons of times. Addictiveness gets a 9. Now for story. Princess Peach gets a invitation to Pillo Island, a so-called 'carefree' and 'relaxing' resort. Of course, our heroes in overalls go too. Eventually Bowser goes to the island too, forming an alliance with the evil Antasma. Princess Peach gets kidnapped, you know the drill. Story gets a 8. Ah, depth. This game, on my first playthrough, took me 35 hours to get to the final boss. There's just so much to do- sidequest-wise and story-wise. Depth gets a 10. Finally, difficulty. This game can be HARD. Even my level 34 Mario & Luigi couldn't take out the final boss without using 'easy mode'. Some of the boss fights though, are utterly easy. The boss theme makes them epic though. Difficulty gets an even 5, cause I couldn't really think of any other rating. Overall, this game is just amazing. I would BUY a 3DS just because of this game. It's a very big, fun, exciting Platformer mixed with an RPG. It truly lives up to the Plumbers amazing RPG beginnings. Overall I give this game.... A PERFECT 10!
