Mayor improvements over it's predecessor, mixed with great humour and appealing characters make this a great game.

User Rating: 9 | Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time DS
The graphics are colorful and cheery, the characters wacky and the action a bit jumpy.

It's a mario game, of course.

Although the dialogue in the game can get tedious at time, the humour of the game just feels right.

It doesn't take itself too seriously,
makes good use of the dual screen,
and has some memorable new characters.

It is recommended to have played the first game,
and several other mario games - because a lot of the humour is centered around that.

The audio is what you would expect,
the action - different from other RPG's - it usually gives you a button-timing mini game, which does make it more involved. The turned based aspect, though - does make the game laid back, and therefore a good fit for a portable.

However, the babies are just annoying - especially when they cry... although it is nice to annoy the people in your direct environment, this will annoy the average player as well.

With a ton of extra stuff to find & pad out the experience, addictive mini-games and genuinly funny dialogue - this game is highly recommended.
