This game, is probably one of the greatest games I've ever played. You play as a kid named Ness who lives in "Eagleland" a parody of America. Ness was a regular kid. Until one night a meteor landed on a hill near his home and turns his whole life around. Now he must find three more friends he hasn't met, learn the mysterious psychic power of PSI, defeat an evil alien named Giygas, and call his mom every now and then to let her know he's okay. You ever get annoyed with random encounters? Fear not! For in this game the encounters are not random. You can see the enemies in the overworld come at you allowing you to dodge or run away from them. You can also sneak up behind them to get the upper hand. When you get strong enough, touching an enemy won't even start a battle. It will just say "You Won!" and you'll get exp. Do you also hate it when you get killed from a one-hit KO? Again fear not for the the HP meter is like a real and and slowly turns instead of chopping of your HP instantly. This gives you time to heal or get that last killing hit from mortal damage. Music? Great. The tunes are very catchy. Characters? A girl who also has PSI and is a celebrity in her hometown. A child prodigy who can fix anything(except he can't figure out how to stop a clumsy robot lol) and a Prince from the Middle east who hate forgein food. If you are new to RPGs you should play this because you'll most likely like it. Visit starmen.net for guides if you get stuck. It also has other Earthbound related content.
