You've got to have seen it, or heard it, or something! Have you played it? Share your thoughts about it here.

The title is misleading to me. I thought it was an RPG detailing the origins of Bowser and his reasons for hatred against the mushroom kingdom and its famous Italian plumbers. But instead, the title is literal, and I am stuck with a story that sounds, and is, ridiculous.

I thought the same thing, however...

...it's not to big of a deal since the Mario series was ridiculous to begin with. I like the game though, my only complaint is how linear it is though. That and the mini-games. They consistently throw tutorials at you and introduce gameplay mechanics that you only use two or three times throughout the whole game and they start to get more annoying than anything.

The best of the Mario%Luigi series.

Having Bowser not only playable, but playable for half the game was a very smart move. Because Mario and Luigi have no new moves whatsoever. The graphics are very appealing although we haven't quite switched to full 3D yet, and it made great use of the DS's touch screen. While the second game made no use of the touch screen at all. It was as if Nintendo forgot that the bottom screen could be used as a touch screen.

Anyway, this game gets a 9 out of 10 from me. There are no flaws at all. Just a few inconveniences which are so small that I can't remember any of them. And yes, I got the game recently and played it every day since then. So far I've put around 25 hours into it, and I'm not quite finished yet.

Strange, I just beat it right now.

Well, like the other games, you're stuck with nothing left to do. In this one you can level up until you reach the highest Rank. Apparently something good happens when you do.

Still, a great game. 9 out of 10.

It's just awesome. I loved playing as Bowser. Right now i'm trying to beat the guantlet level 7. and i'm still doing things. I think bowser should have his own game like this. AND MORE GIANT BATTLES PLEASE.

things are f***ing awesomesauce.

To the op, your first post leaves something to be desired. Maybe a more specific question or more of your own opinion. Anyway here is what i thought.

Although the title is bowser's inside story i didn't expect to play as bowser as much as i did. The story is a little odd but normal considering its a mario game. The combat system is fun but once you learn how to get a perfect hit every time it gets repetitive. Being bowser is really fun since i'm used to be the small guy in the other mario rpg games. Mario and luigi don't get much of a role in the story until you figure out how to get them out of bowser which could be a few hours into the game. I haven't finsished it yet but overall it is worth buying.

I've heard a bit about it. I got the first RPG (Superstar Saga) and really liked it. I skipped the second one because I didn't like the looks of it, but I'll think about getting this one.
