Ok, talk about a masterpiece!!! This game is the best game from Nintendo! Just the whole story is great. I've played it twice before, and the first time, it took me about 3 months (probably because i couldnt get to that freekin' super star man guy...its really hard!!) But when i played it the second time, I got hooked...playing it for 6 hours a day can really get you to finish it early, lol.

One of the best RPG's ever made

If you're an RPG fan and even if you aren't one then i recommend that you go out and get this game right now. I know it's hard to find and expensive but trust me, it's worth it. If you have alot of trouble finding it then you can probably find it on a boot disk for Dreamcast or something. One cool thing about this game is that in the beginning you can customize the names of everyone in your party, your favorite hobby, favorite food and more. The game starts out in Onett which is your hometown and a meteor has just crashed close by your house. After investigating it you travel from town to town trying to figure out what's up with the meteor and such while doing side-quests in each town. There is a wide range of environments that you travel to. From hot deserts, to snowy forests, to very large cities. The graphics are 2-D but what do you expect from a SNES game? They're simple but still good. But hey, graphics aren't everything. The sound is very well done also with catchy beats to go with each town that fit the mood just right. Overall this is one of the best RPG's that I have ever played and I think that you should go and get it now.

sounds like a great game

i never played it, but of what the views say it sounds pretty good. i would get it if i had an nes... and about 60 extra dollars to spend on an old game like this. they should just remake it for the GBA. that would be easier for me

EARTHBOUND! Thats the best RPG i have ever played the only game that has cool enimies like the popular Starman. Which include Starman, Starman Jr., Starman Super, Starman DX, Ghost of Starman and my personal fav Final Starman. also i like the bosses for the 7 sanctuary locations Titanic Ant, Mondo Mole, Trillionage Sprout, SHROOOOOM!, Plauge Rat of Doom (which looks like a rat that sat on a ...or at least laid on one), Thunder & Storm, Electro Specter, and the final one has 2 forms Carbon Dog and Diamond Dog. Plus the final thing wonderful plot a perfect game that takes quite a while to beat! Took me a month and a couple of days. Buy this game it is really cool and really humorous.

....a awesome classic for RPG lovers!

Of course everyone in Japan refers EB to Mother 2 one of the greatest games there it sold extremely well. That is why Ness is in Smash Bros. and Smash Bros. Melee the reason it sold not poorly but not great here was because of the odd storyline. Sorry just telling details of all of the above now to the game itself. This game has a great plot although it is kind of odd but I would give the plot a 4.75 out of five. The graphics for that time it wasn't that bad ummmm... i would give it a 4. The Sound has some very good music especially the boss battles and towns I'd say a very good 5. It's a little easy to catch on to how to use the controller I'll give it a 4.25.The last and final rating how much fun is it VERY FUN a awesome classic for RPG lovers! The rating for this is 5 stars. And overall a 4.75

Earthbound: Nintendo's Undiscovered Masterpiece

If you had not played Earthbound, stop reading this now and BUY Earthbound. If you have not experienced Earthbound, you have not truly lived. Earthbound IS the best Super Nintendo game in the world. Why; you ask? Let's look at other RPG's. In almost every RPG has swords, shields, what have you. In Earthbound, you get modern items like baseball bats, frying pans, and rocket launchers. It also takes place around present day. Mix evil but humorous 'monsters' like "The New-Age Retro Hippie" and "Shroom" with a very funny story line; and you get a masterpiece. So why do I say 'Undiscovered?' Unfortinatly, Earthbound came out when the Nintendo was jumping to Nitendo 64 projects. Moron kids wanted to sell their Super Nintendo's for Nintendo 64's. The kids who sold their Super Nintendo's missed out on the most underrated game in the history of video games. Also, Nintendo did not promote it enough. While it was a blockbuster hit in Japan, most American gamers overlooked Earthbound. However, if you are checking this review, you either own Earthbound or have an intrest in it. Buy this game! You'll love it! You'll want to replay it over and over! As for me, I'm waiting for a sequel...

What a great Rpg!

Ok... people, this game OWNS!!! Look, you start out in your house and you hear a noise, it's a meteorite and your annoying next door neighbor, Pokey, is on the scene. you find out an evil dude called Gyggas is gonna destroy everything and you hafta stop him. You find 8 .... "Sanctuary" locations (basically, a big area with monsters and a boss, kill boss, get to the spot) You have a "Sound stone" that records part of a song that each location has. when you meet all your friends and find all locations, you beat the gyggas (and their assistant, Pokey) and live happily ever after, in a much less lame way than it sounds.

A great SNES RPG

Unlike many RPGs, Earthbound takes place in a modern-day setting. Instead of traditional RPG enemies like magicans and wizards, they are now replaced by enemies such as the New Age Retro Hippie (my favorite) and Crazed Sign. And it has lots of modern-day stuff such as hotels, department stores, traveling jazz bands, and tall skyscrapers. The story is about Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo who have to save the world from the evil Giygas, while traveling from small towns such as Onett, to strange places like Moonside. The only downside is that you can only name the main characters by using 5 characters. If you can find this game, then you should buy it. If you don't, then you'll be missing out on one of the greatest SNES RPGs ever.
