    I normally don't enjoy RPGs, but I gave Paper Mario a shot and adored it. I then played TTYD and loved every minute of it. So a friend recommended Superstar Saga.

    I really wanted to love this game. But it just wasn't enjoyable.

    The dialogue was FANTASTIC, and I loved the story. But the gameplay was far too tedious to justify playing through the game just to get to the story.

    Even if Mario & Luigi is my favourite RPG serie... i think that Saga Superstar has some mistakes like in the Japanese Version there is one more block feature than the other versions which makes the game easier...The story is nice...The villains and the other characters are great too...but the only thing that is negative is that after Cackletta's first defeat you just complete missions inEven if Mario & Luigi is my favourite RPG serie... i think that Saga Superstar has some mistakes like in the Japanese Version there is one more block feature than the other versions which makes the game easier...The story is nice...The villains and the other characters are great too...but the only thing that is negative is that after Cackletta's first defeat you just complete missions in the same places which can really make u bored until getting to Bowser's Castle to strike down the Koopalings, Fawful's Final Form, and Bowletta to put an end on the story...… Expand

    Though Super Mario has created a unique style of RPG game and the sword to go off the edge. There still some flaws about the balance ,playing. And as a RPG game the the story line is a bit monotonous and short

    Another Mario game that's a fun little arcade adventure with cute graphics and a real sense of humour.

    Superstar Saga is the perfect mix of turn-based combat, adventuring and platforming all in one.

    Things never slack off either due to the brilliant storyline and characters, whilst the tricky combat and devious puzzles keep attention fixated.
