Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

The more I played of it, the less I could deny how expertly made it is in every aspect. It's an all-around fantastic portable game that's completely worth playing, whether you enjoy it in bite-size chunks or plow straight through it from start to finish.

With Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, AlphaDream and Nintendo have given us the best handheld Mario RPG to date.

It’s a game made of moments. Above all it is an intelligent adaptation to Mario’s World, making the possibility of controlling Bowser not a prop but something unique and extraordinary.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is a wonderful new adventure that takes new directions while also maintaining the foundations set by its predecessors. There are a few minor hiccups here and there, but otherwise it should not be missed by any Mario or RPG fan.

Fans who loved the first two games shouldn't hesitate in picking up Bowser's Inside Story. It features everything that makes the series enjoyable and adds onto it everything but the kitchen sink. Despite a few minor flaws, it's a game that features an ingenious game design synonymous with Nintendo games and is easily one of the best DS games of the year.

It is, however, a title with lots of variety, plenty of great dialogue, and rock-solid mechanics that any gamer can understand and ­enjoy.

The concept of Marios action rpg Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi are known to be good. The latest title takes place inside Bowser's body and, of course, makes it a bit different from the earlier games. But it's a fun twist of both story and gameplay, and with all the qualities in the game it makes Bowser's Inside Story one of the best games for the DS 2009.

Probably the most well known, and very likely the most liked game in the series. Bowser's Inside Story, is my favorite Mario RPG, and you probably don't even need to read me writing a review as there are probably a bunch of other M&L nerds like me that write more so leave -Balanced pace (rarely feels like a drag) -Fun fights (plus you get to fight as Bowser half the game) -Unique(?) Story (admittedly it's quite weird, actually extremely strange, but they gave bowser the most personality ever before here and I love it) -Peak music (there's a high chance you've heard Grande Finale before) -French Guy (There's a french speaking block man. Why'd I put this here?) -Giants/minigames (epic bowser kaiju fights, and silly internal organ minigames) -Mario and Luigi (And Bowser) Ignore the lack of review structure and my stupd idk i wrote this at midnight after I finished the final boss gauntlet challenge (which was a PAIN but a good pain! I loved the struggle. Play BIS. NOW

シナリオは良かったが操作性が悪すぎるのが残念だと思った。マイクを使うのもめんどくさい。bgmは神だし、クッパもカッコいいのでやってみる価値はあると思います

Very similar to its predecessor Partners in time but with added 2D levels and the chance to play as Bowser. A solid little arcade adventure and slightly better than the first game.

I found playing this to be incredibly stressful and not rewarding. The characters and graphics are the most charming part.

I don't see what's so good about this game. If you want an addictive game for the DS, I would suggest either New Super Mario Bros. or Mario Kart DS.
