This is the best RPG I've played since the first Phantasy Star. Gameplay is engaging and intuitive. Story is well paced
You would think that an RPG with Mario wouldn't give you anything new but it does in a big way.
The fight mechanic is great and helps give the user a feeling of control that is sometimes lacking in popular RPG's.
I bought this game at first because of the great reviews of the first game and the fact it was a Mario title. I never played the first but I'm glad I took a chance at this one.
This is the kind of game that gives you a good sense of accomplishment when you finish it unlike others that you finish more out of the fact that you've played this long might as well play till the end.
I would say that anyone who likes video games would like this game, this is not a Mario title or an RPG title.
It's simply a great title that should be experienced by everyone.
