This is a very modern style RPG, this is the first RPG I ever owned. Join Ness in his quest to save the world.
The music is great, they have the perfect music stretching from the title screen to the ending boss fight, every level meets the level's style perfectly. You can just hear the music and know what kind of environment you are in.
It has great controls, it just lacks a run button on the roaming around screens, but you get certain items that make you move faster, so that makes up for that. You can interact with a lot of different items in the environments, from a stuffed animal sitting in the corner of the room to a old magazine that is sitting in a dresser. It is very modern based, you can go in burger shops and drug stores, you visit city hall and can even go to the police station. You visit arcades and malls. You can do buisiness with black market salesmen and such. But it isn't just cool cause of the modern surroundings. You visit the weirdest of places, stretching from Stone Henge to the mysterious Saturn Valley.
You start as Ness, who is woken in the middle of the night by a loud crash. He gets up to find that a meteorite has fallen. He thinks nothing of it and goes back to bed, a little while later he gets woken up again by his neighbor friend Pokey. Pokey asks for his help to find his brother. So you join up with Pokey, you can even take your dog. You find that all the wildlife is acting weird. They are just attacking everyone that walks by. If you are curious to what happens next, pick up a copy and play it for yourself, you get to fight with many weapons and many magic powers, known at PSI in this game, you get many allies to help you out, each with their own special abilities.
