    Except for the tutorials and the long sessions it requires, it's a wonderful adventure in every aspect that offers tons of fun.

    Mario and Luigi share a new RPG adventure that is funny from the begining, give us surprises until the ending and offers plenty of hours of enjoyment and humour. Recommended for Nintendo 3DS owners in general.

    For all this, we must consider Dream Team Bros. an essential game for Nintendo 3DS, and we cannot forget the great location for Portuguese.

    It might not quite hit the highs of Bowser’s Inside Story, but it’s still essential; yet another must-have title to the 3DS’ ever-increasing library of incredible first party games.

    Sure, the challenge could be a little bit higher, but that doesn't prevent Dream Team Bros from proving that they truly are a dream team with more charm, intelligence and awesomeness than anyone else.

    Mario & Luigi: Dream Team could have been one of the best RPGs on the 3DS; instead, it sadly overstays its welcome.

    Fans of the series will find more to love than the rest, but Paper Mario 3D allows players of all levels to get to the point a lot faster. Though Dream Team has one of the better 3D effects, in both 2D and 3D gameplay, you're more likely to shut your eyes than cross them. There are hours of entertainment for patient players willing to read and giggle at silly accents, but I'd rather explore Bowser's dreams instead.

    Many have something like Mario 64 or Odyssey as their favorite Mario game. In my opinion, the best Mario game is the 4th entry of Mario &Many have something like Mario 64 or Odyssey as their favorite Mario game. In my opinion, the best Mario game is the 4th entry of Mario & Luigi: it is Dream Team! Unlike previous entries, the music is finally mkre realistic and have the best soundtrack of the serie (thank you Mrs. Shimomura!). The story is a little bit more intense than normal Mario game and the characters have more devellopement. Liked also the visual style, remote control in the Luiginary Ball and that star attack, giant battle and minigames! Hope a totally new Mario & Luigi game (not crossover and remakes) will arrive on Switch soon!… Expand

    Its a Mario and Luigi game, its funny, the bosses are awesome, LUIGI EVERYWHERE!, the music is very good, the plot is decent, the originalityIts a Mario and Luigi game, its funny, the bosses are awesome, LUIGI EVERYWHERE!, the music is very good, the plot is decent, the originality is really good for the 4th entry in the series,the battle mechanics are very well adjusted to work with the 3ds and Its surprisingly long! (and not grind heavy). BUT, the tutorials every 5 seconds suck. That is the only glaring problem this game has. Tutorials everywhere....Thats it. Everything else about this game ranges from decent to great, it isnt going to blow you off your feet and amaze you because its an rpg series. If you: Like funny or quirky rpgs, any of the other games in the series or just want to play a good 3ds game, you should buy this game.… Expand

This game returns to an unbelievable gameplay mechanic that never gets old, the battles. With a great soundtrack and some hilarious comedic moments in the gameplay, somewhat breaking the fourth wall at times, but besides these factors, there is little I like. My biggest complaint is even though the game is 25-27 hours which is great due to its quality, it seems like nearly the entire game is a tutorial. Introducing new gameplay mechanics 20 hours in. And at times the dialogue drags on for an UNBELIEVABLE length, like the first 3 hours of the game. And it may seem that this one aspect shouldn't drag my score down so low, but so much dialogue at times I felt was unnecessary, it somewhat drove me mad. 4/10.… Expand

Not only is it the worst mario rpg game, it's also one of the worst rpg games. It's basically the "super mario maker" of the series, not because you can create things, but because it's so bad it's what you'd expect out of a super mario maker user level. at no point in playing through the entire game was fun had.
    You have these attacks that go on for 4 hours, and after you play the entire sequence of dance dance revolution, you're rewarded by dealing the enemy almost double digit damage, but it's more like 6, but if you mess up the 4 hour sequence of dodging you take 99999999999999 damage. awful game, do not play even if you get it for free. even if you're paid to play it.    … Expand
