ur voice and the way you talk is pretty F**kin hot dude. that kinda the reason why i friended you, along with the fact that i watch the reviews whenever i can and i like video games and shit, but yeah other than that ur pretty hot (a t least i hope you are)
Not really no. This was the only Mario game where a certain individual came up and destroyed both kingdoms. (Which is the "politics don't work part") In other Mario games it's just the Princess being kidnapped and you having to go save her from some random place Bowser is, and Mario is usually located in some equally random place (Mario Sunshine=Island, Mario Galaxy=Middle of Space etc).Valiance said:
After finally getting around to picking up Demon's Souls, I gotta say I can't wait for Yahtzee to do the same. A JRPG with a more western-style character creator and without a strictly linear plot railroading you from scene to scene (and not a turn-based sequence in sight), plus a brutally difficult and unforgiving combat system where death is not only expected, but strictly enforced.
It's not perfect; the camera in particular has already gotten me killed a half dozen times by enemies in rooms I'm walking into that I can't see until they're behind me, swords a'swinging. But, it's such an about face from the set pieces Yahtzee reminds us constantly that he hates, I think we're in for a treat when he gets around to playing it! I have to wonder how far along he'll force himself to play before getting around to a review though. I can already tell I'm going to be spending a LOT of time on this title, maybe not loving every frustrating second, but reveling in the satisfaction of each completed chapter.

Well this will sound swesomely fag, but I love your work. there I said it, in spite I have a little feeling inside that sais to me "he hates nintendo. don't like him." I do apreciate your work 'cause even being a nintendo lover and loving Wii (yes I'm a moron... and a tosser) I perfectly realise your dislike is perfectly logical. on to the game review. Enough with all the (how great your work is, you are a great guy, and I love every little shit you make cause you are great.)Hey you do a great job and I became addicted to it in less the 30 seconds. (how's that for ego booster. or it just makes me look more like a freaking nerd...) well moving to the luigi and mario thingy... I loved the video and well I never really liked mario or luigi, they seem to have a incestouse relationship, don't know why... though the games were allways fun, I never pay attention to the characters.Sonic and tails... Well lets not get me started on that part, I agree with you on any case here the only cool guy is Bowser, even though he is a fire breathing lizard and a bad guy in general. well i'll be not playing that game... I can't be assed to do it now... tommany games and books in my hands now good luck on your reviews, I'll keep watching and trying to see them all... I have alot to catch up heh.
His comments about hating children and how unforgivable old games used to be reminded me of "Heart of Darkness". Everything is trying to kill you and one of the things that made this game so disturbing is the many many many ways your preteen avatar can be killed.
There isn't even a tutorial of how to play so you'll probably die over and over again in sometimes cartoony and sometimes disturbing fashions.
Here's a video listing most of the ways this child can be horribly killed.

My only disagreement with this review is that Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door is your favorite Mario RPG. I didn't like that game at all after a bit of play because I felt like I was being forced to hear every characters whiney, bitchy, annoying, background story before being allowed to go anywhere else (I played up to after the Pianta Mafia section). All the while all mario says is *raises his hand up*. The text onslaught goes on and on and on when I never cared at all for any of the characters besides maybe Goombella cause she's the first basic Goomba I know that actually does more than walk left and right while giving you soul piercingly angry looks, and the Koopa Troopa kid with the bandaid on his beak.
Also, I will now and forever call the games Super Luigi Bros. cause I agree with you about Luigi being a better character than Mario as he actually has some personality. I also agree with you about Tails, though if youo notice, Tails's main difference from sonic besides the flying thing is that he accelerates slower.

Another amazing review, they always make me laugh.
Does anyone else get cravings to buy these crappy games just so they can see if what is said is true?
No ...
Just me then

Pfft, Waluigi is better.
ANYway...
I don't always agree with what Yahtzee has to say but at least in this one, he insults people who use the term "kiddie game" and defends a Mario/JRPG game. Give yourself a pat on the back, Yahtzee. Don't worry, you can whip yourself later.

This has probably been brought up, but the "separate" jump button thing has been part of the Mario & Luigi series from the get-go, and is really more a consequence of the control scheme than an intentional "screw you" from the designers.
Now that I've gotten that justifying defense against one of Yahtzee's less caustic reviews out of my system, allow me to say: OMG I actually bought a game before someone reviewed it. Usually, by the time I purchase a game, it's been out for so long that people don't even harken back to it nostalgically anymore. In other words, about six to nine months. In any case, this came as something of a shock.
I'm a bit sad that Master Croshaw didn't even mention the touch-control giant Bowser fights. I figured they'd be right up his alley. Or the polar opposite of that. Down his alley, I suppose.
In any case, an enjoyable review, and I'm glad to see so many other supporters of the Man in Green. I also liked the sociopoltical considerations of the Mushroom Kingdom. I do love me some unnecessarily deep thought about video games.

"When I was a kid we played games where you had 1 life and every bird, insect and blade of grass was trying to murder you."
Best quote and it's so true... Companies now develop only games that are easy so everybody can complete them. Rare are the games that truly require efforts these days, the new generations want and expect games to be easy.
If this tendency continue, the next thing you know is you're going to start playing the game and be given the "YOU WIN!" or "CONGRATULATIONS!" in the first fucking frame of gameplay...
