Subpar graphics doesn't always mean a bad game.
I first played this game 2 days before my junior year of high school and for the longest time, I had thought that RPGs had to be set in a medieval world with dragons and wizards and all that crap. Now I know better. Eart... Read Full Review

A Modern R.P.G., that can still hold it's own today, just as it did in the 1990's!
Despite the fact that I owned the Super NES when it originally came out in the 1990's, "Earthbound" ended up being part of a small group of games that despite the fact that I was interested in them, I never got a chance ... Read Full Review

A cult classic for reasons anyone can appreciate
1. Earthbound is something of a cult classic and there's a reason for that: it's great. It is sort of a self-aware console RPG w/ a great sense of humor. It comes off as ahead of its time even today.2. Graphically, it i... Read Full Review

A wacky weird adventure that is also a very deep one.
(There are spoilers in this review) Before we start the review I wanted to talk a little bit about Earthbound. Well first off, Earthbound is a very rare game due to the fact that it was the only part of the series that ... Read Full Review

Nearly twenty years later, Nintendo's cult classic "EarthBound" still has the chops to impress.
In a world where games like Call of Duty and Halo rule the ever growing game market, it's always refreshing to take a look back at some of the greats that got the industry to where it is today. EarthBound, released in 19... Read Full Review

An underrated game that should be given a second chance.
So as you might already know, this game has HEAVILY ignored by Nintendo of America. It was ported to the GBA and was originally only going to be available in Japan on VC for the Wii U. Only recently was it FINALLY announ... Read Full Review

Best RPG of All Time.
In a world gone mad, a group of friends must stand up to various evils and eventually vanquish evil itself. Earthbound was a flash of brilliance, a game so inspired and so individual that it touched my very soul. Ness,... Read Full Review
