I bought this game in nov. of 05 in hopes that it could at least be even half as good as its predecessor but it wasn't. This game takes everything about the last game 1 step forward and 2 steps back except in the graphics department. The storyline wasn't as well written as the the first one so that means less laughs and more ??? as to how you can even begin to try and enjoy the crap they wrote this time around. I would like to say the problem is comprehending what is going on but in the first game you didn't try so much to make sense of the story it just had a natural flow and well thought out jokes. The battle system in this game pales in comparison to the first game's system because it relies less on strategy/timing and more on mashing buttons. When you travel through the game you do it through portals which doesn't sound that bad at first but in reality its fairly bland when comparing it to the HUGE world you had to explore in the first game to reach your destinations. The music is very forgettable and not enjoyable at all. While it seems that i'm trying to say this game is only bad because stacked up to its predecessor its complete and utter crap thats....BECAUSE IT IS! Even if I didn't compare it to the first this game still is a poor excuse for a mario rpg or rpg in general. To anyone who is reading if you didn't play " Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga" find that it,play it and enjoy. As for this one its best to just try and act like it never happened.
