The cutting edge, (at the time), music and wonderful story, make this my favorite RPG of all time. The characters were lovable, the story was immersing, and the game was just plain fun. I wish they'd make games like this more often!!! It is a shame that they scrapped the sequel in the states. I would love to see this game come back to Wii. Who knows, maybe it will be available on the virtual console???

If you haven't played Earthbound for SNES, don't let the graphics fool you. The graphics were actually pretty good for 1995, and the music was spectacular, using synths to create wonderful atmosphere. You actually looked forward to every new town because each had its own "feel" and atmoshphere. What a great game!
