Roo finishes off EarthBound-a-palooza with a thorough review of the game itself. By examining the story, writing, graphics, music (good God, the music), and all the other little touches that make EarthBound great, hopefully you'll feel compelled to give this king of the overlooked games a playthrough - whether it's your 1st or your 101st time.

Omg I never knew there were more than one tea scene's in the game :O I only went to the Saturn Valley one

[jamesholden2k7]

Iv only just finished Eatrthbound as of yesterday but i'd like to thank you for introducing me to this game. Oh but I got the sword of kings on like the 10th starman I fought :')

"OH god i need a new hobby"...rofl!!!

I could never let Paula go home, I always had to have Paula stay at Ness' house. I hate sad goodbyes.

Just shows how great this game is at pulling at heartstrings sometimes, as I'm alexithymic.

I don't thing that sword is worth the brain tumor. i been trying for two weeks and gained 30 levels. Ness is 80, Puala 75, jeff 73 Poo 71. Now if you need me im going to try one more time. If i don't get it i'm just skipping it.

[LaharlD2]

@sheaofleaves124 Poo reminds me of Yang a little from FF4.

[SuperLegendarymike]

uhhhhh the sword of kings isn't hard to get just use jeff's spy thing
