Mario & Lugi Superstar Saga
 
Wow. I've been playing this game for the past week and it is so much fun. The only two characters you get are Mario and Luigi and they're pretty much the same but still, so fun. You can jump to dodge attacks and hit buttons at the right time to deal extra damage. The bros. attacks are sweet . The puzzles are great too. I can't say it enough. This game is just plain fun.

I'm going to quote Dyne in saying "Those guys [Mario & Luigi] know how to party"

Pick this game up. It'll rock your socks.

I'm asking for it for Christmas, thanks for the good review. :)

I've had the game since it came out (along with MK: DD). I was playing it for awhile, then kind of stopped all of a sudden. Damn work and my ability to must sleep for long hours.

But its a fun game. I highly recommend it if you liked either Super Mario RPG or Paper Mario.

I thought it was awesome. Just a bit short with kind of a sudden ending. But that was probably just me.

I was going to pick it up today at Future Shop, but I split a Game Boy Player instead. I still have enough... I should probably pick this up on boxing day.

This game owns. I got it last week and the game is way too fun. It reminds me of SMRPG in some ways... Damn, too fun. It has that awesome Mario feeling. Pick it up today!

Best GBA game to date.

My brother got it for christmas, what a joy to play. I love the combat, its turn based but not in the boring way turn based combat usually is. It can be funny at times too. Gotta love the refrences to past mario games. The border jump minigame game is pure nintendo bliss. You just dont find that kinda thing anymore.

This is one of a very few turn based RPG's I like. I really hate turn based RPG's because they are so slow that my interest can't last for more then 15 minutes. But with M&L, they made it so while the enemie's turn is happening, you can actually do something. And have fun with M&L Jason!

It contains one of the most basic forms of turned based combat ever (attack, item, special, escape). Perhaps you guys haven't played enough RPGs.

I got it last night, I'm enjoying it. Nice graphics too. Why does the Game Boy Player logo appear when you first start up the game though? Is it specially designed for use with the Gameboy Player?

Yes, to an extent. It has a rumble feature.

It sounds like you must not have gotten into Superstar Saga that much (or the first Mario RPG). In real time you can dodge enemies attacks as they approach you. Or, in some situations, you can hit the enemy as he comes close to you as long as you time the hit button at the right time. Timed attacking is the basis of battle in Superstar Saga.

I've always preferred the Mario RPGs to most traditional RPG, well one being the character and the other is that for the most part you are always active.

I've played 70% of superstar saga and I've played nearly 50% of both mario rpg and paper mario. You think just because you can hit a button at the right time to dodge an attack that it makes this battle system an evolution in turned based combat?

The standard turned based combat in rpgs these days is nearly 10 times deeper than this combat. I'm not dregading the game or anything, don't take me wrong, it's a really fun game, but I knows me RPGs and this one is basic in terms of combat.
