"Mario and Luigi's EXCELLENT Adventure!"

This is my first review, so I'll try my best!

Mario and Luigi Partners in Time is the first RPG I truly beat (I played Pokemon when I was really little, but it didn't make sense to me back then). I highly recommend this game to RPG fans or/and Mario and Luigi Fans. This game is now one of my favorites, and I am planning to play the first Mario and Luigi.

Here are the reasons why I love this game:

Story: 9/10
This story is very creative, but there are a few loopholes. You can see what I'm talking about when you play the game. The story also has several funny parts (which involves mostly hurting Luigi...). The funny story is one of the things that drew me in to play this game. The story includes something for everyone: mystery, adventure, action, suspense, comic humor, and even a little bit of romance.

Game-Play: 10/10
The game-play is all about timing. You'll have to time yourself hitting and dodging enemies. The bosses are also well designed. The Bros. Items are hard to pull off at first, but with practice you'll get the hang of it. Also, don't try to run away from every enemy you see. This will keep your characters weak, and you'll have a VERY hard time defeating bosses (especially the last boss). Overall, the game-play is challenging, but not so challenging that it will make you tear off your own hair!

Graphics: 10/10
The graphics are amazing. The art and design of everything is beautiful. Nintendo and Alpha-Dream did a great job at the Graphics. The colors mix well together. I like the cool cartoon graphics in this game also.

Music/Audio: 10/10
All of the music goes well with each environments. The music is funny at funny parts, and the last boss music makes the battle feel more intense. The music is well composed for a Nintendo DS game.

Overall: 10!
Even though the story has some loopholes, everything else is very EXCELLENT! Along with Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing DS, and other hits, Nintendo has a blockbuster library for the Nintendo DS!
