Presentation-
The combination of poor FMVs, zero story value, poor character design, and a "vacation" theme is rather a shocker. The focus was clearly on gameplay only. 6.0

Graphics-
Mario Sunshine actually takes advantage of GameCube for quite a few pleasing visual touches. Brilliant water, particle effects, and draw distance add up. Bad art and textures damage it. 8.0

Sound-
A few catchy tunes, some fitting level themes, and Dolby support. But, things get a little dirty with some bad interactive music and voice-overs. 7.0

Gameplay-
The definition of pure fun. The controls and level design come together beautifully for a must-play game. The camera, however, is a major nuisance. 9.0

Lasting Appeal-
The main quest is lengthy, and after-hours with going for all the 120 Shines keeps on kicking. Very entertaing, but only the most hardcore of fans will play through it twice. 9.0

OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 9.4


Not bad I guess, i'll still buy it the first day. The review was written by Fran Mirabella III. if enough people wanna read the full review i'll post it for ya.
