So many things to say...hmm, im gonna bullet it!
PROS-
- Story is as witty and funny as you would expect from a M&L game
- playing as bowser in this game is a very entertaining exp.
- Can be played casually or hardcore.
- If you take the time to explore and do and find everything there is to do it buffs up the playtime from 18 hrs to about 28 hrs
- HUGE REPLAY VALUE
- very polished with tight controls

CONS (super nitpicking)
- just a tad too much (txt) dialouge
- although the game is long "on paper" (20 + hrs) it "breezes by so fast, cause of that old saying about having fun
- WAY TOO EASY, people new to the series might find it difficult at first but vets such as myself might find it 2 easy
- screw the cons BUY / RENT THIS GAME

!EVERYONE WITH A DS NEEDS TO PLAY THIS!

This game was great, the only Mario and Luigi game Ive play was the 1st one and that was for 5 minute.

Anyhow my younger sister wanted to rent this. well she play it, said it was too hard, and ask me to give it a shot. and I was shock on how good this game was. Anyhow I said it a must rent for any DS owner well let give the low down now

story:5/10 for a Mario game Ive never seen them pull off a story I didn't see coming but then I've play a Lotta RPG's

Sound:7/10 this is one factor that shock me there a good bit of music in the game my only grip was that there like 3 or 4 battle songs for the whole game

Game play:8/10 pretty good for an action RPG reason I don't give it an 10 is dude to fact some items/skill were more useful as others

Replay:4/10 there a lot you can do/find in this game but I don't foresee my self going back to grab every little Item and many of the Items are useless.

Controls:6/10 there parts in this game that your going to wanna rip your hair out. sometimes I would Jump and it wouldn't make both of them JUMP (and in many part you need both of the bro's to jump)

Overall:8/10 with all the Con this is still a good game for younger kids and grown up alike. the thing to me that really saved the game from being a bad game was the Game play and sounds they had.

anyhow this is my Review on the game

ok well let me start by saying that i thaught the game came out of nowhere so i also thaught it would be a horrible game that was put together to quickly. so the begining starts off as any mario RPG u walk to the castle bowser attacks he fails comes back...and eats you...well actualy a "lucky" shroom sold by a disguised FAWFUL makes him suck up everything in sight for a while (yes fawful from the GBA superstar saga game returns as the...half main villian and isnt it such a cuinsidence that as soon as mario and luigi get sucked up bowsers little "diseas wears off...)ans for all you bean bean kingdom fans sorry but thers no cackleta. well u walk around bowsers intestins for a while till u find luigi and they talk ther insane language that sounds italian at first u think its a cheap voice that they just put in for you to hear but after a while i started to laugh...then u can play as bowser...a VERY nice change in gameplay i had alot of fun playing with bowser since M and L's attacks do like 5 and bowsers does like 40 on the start of the game! now that got me fired up to play.oh yea speaking of fire bowser LOSES his and it takes a while to get it back.along with some hidden moves lke the ground pound and spikeball roller. but as i was saying the gameplay made me laugh wich just kapt coming.now my first special attack i earned from collecting 10 JIGSAW peices (yea i know puzzle peices...)anyway i got it and i was so exited but then i found out my first special attack was...the green shell...W T F!?! thats suppost to be an item not a move! but not until two special attacks later i earned a non item SA. so the after a whole bunch of other stuff u get to play as M/L again and what a world it is! CONGRADULATIONS! u get to know all the names of bowsers body parts they even have a part called the "rump command" that maks bowser huge in "critical conditon". but i wish i could say more but im running out of leters so ill have to end it here saying hope it helps and i gve it a 10
