Hello everyone. As promised, I've done up a review for Earthbound. It can be read here.

Short version: The atmosphere is creative and unique, and the plot line becomes deceptively deep as the game goes on, but certain elements of the gameplay can be really frustrating.

Keep an eye out for my next review, which is to be determined whenever I actually write it. Happy gaming!

@iandizion713: Thank you! I like to be thorough but not too long winded when I review something. they usually hover around 2000- 2500 words.

As far as Beginnings goes, I did some reading and the story and lore sounds pretty damn cool actually. I heard that as an RPG, it's "NES Hard," so bring some blood pressure meds if you play it.

Earthbound Zero is one of my fave NES titles. Really think any fan of the Mother series would enjoy it.
