Earthbound was a refreshing break from all the fantasy RPG games I've played. The graphics were were great, they were almost cartoon like. As for the sound it was great, as was the music, very funky. The gameplay is solid. I really liked the amount of different location you travel to. Overall I thing this was one of the best games for the SNES. A must have...no doubt about it.

I heard a rumor that all 3 Earthbound (Mother as there called in Japan)games might be released on the Nintendo DS. I really hope it's true. It would be great to be able to play all three games.
