I'll make this short and sweet: if you like Mario, RPG's, platformers, or fun in general, then you NEED to get this game. This game is the sequel to one of my favorite N64 games, Paper Mario, which was a fantastic hybrid of the platformer and RPG genres. As much as I loved the original, I think this one might be even better: it looks great, the story is hilarious (especially Luigi's dialogue) and the button-pressing, timing based combat makes most other RPG's seem boring in comparison. This is absolutely one of the best games on Gamecube, and it deserves a spot in your collection.
