    Deceptively deep, this is the new blueprint for action RPGs and one of the last must-haves for the N64.

    If you're severely allergic to overly cute-and-cuddly games, take some Dramamine before heading off on Mario's adventure.

    Basically, it's just Super Mario RPG, with a graphic style ripped from Parappa the Rapper. SMRPG's gameplay was okay, but way too repetitive. Now you want us to do it all over again? Nintendo makes some great games, but their RPGs **** suck.… Expand
