It doesn't matter what language, Earthbound/Mother 2 (and apparently Okâsân 2) is the best role playing game for the Super Nintendo. Instead of playing in a medieval or futuristic world of magic and fantasy, Earthbound takes place right here at home on present day Earth, where an evil alien force called Giygas is determined to take over the world. No sooner does a message from the future arrive fortelling the destruction of Earth then Ness, our unlikely hero with strong PSI powers, sets out to prevent armageddon. Armed with a baseball bat and his mind, Ness must journey through a vast world, encountering strange people, meeting new friends, and defeating evil influences that are already making themselves known. Earthbound has a fast paced story line and a quirky sense of humor, which more than make up for the graphics (which are nothing to write home about). Great music and awesome battles add to the combo leaving you wishing the game would never end. Though it may seem like a kid's game at first, it is quite a challenge and is interesting no matter what your age. So if you're sick of all the other video games, try Earthbound: A totally different and excellent experience.
