Ah... Mother 3. How can I describe this masterpiece? First off, the music is brillant. The combo system makes you really get into the music. No other turn based RPG would let you get combos based on you pressing a button to the beat of the song. The story is absolutely amazing. It will make you want to cry sometimes in the story, but the end will make you sympathize with the characters and make you want to cry your heart out. Graphics are neat and clean. They're just like Earthbound except cleaner. The replayability is astonishing. The secret HARD MODE you get is an extra challenge that will make you love the game even more. There's a character for everyone in this game. I absolutely love this game. Just like the other games in the Mother series, this is a true piece of art from Itoi. If you don't like the game now, you have to play more than just the beginning. Sure, Mother 3 starts out slow, but once you really get going, you'll be sucked into the game. You have to completely finish the game to appreciate all of it. If you still don't like it after playing through the whole game, then I guess that's your opinion. If you don't like the game, but you haven't played the whole game, I suggest you try to finish the game.
