Since I have a week to kill before Dead Rising ships for the Xbox 360 I'm going to try and knock off one more RPG. I have the best odds of successfully completing Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time for the Nintendo DS in that time. The first impression I get from the time I've spent with it thus far is that it's all still for laughs just as Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was entirely comedic. The game has the plumbing duo (are they even plumbers anymore) traveling back in time and meeting up with their toddler selves in order to save the princess. A highly original and experimental concept to be sure. This time around aliens are invading. The game seems to play the combat out as before, except this time there is slightly more complexity in the teaming up of the pairs of brothers. What seems to be missing is the Zelda overworld style gameplay of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It seemingly has been replaced with actual levels which feature a more streamlined single path structure. I don't know if I like that change. It might not matter if the combat stays classic and the story remains genuinely funny. We'll of course see how it goes.
