Earthbound is essentially one big parody. It satires western
culture in such a way that you won’t even realize you’re being made fun of.
Jokes aside, Earthbound tells a great story of an evil entity named Giygas
who’s hellbent on destroying the universe. Saviors come in the unlikely form of four
children whose leader is a boy in a red baseball cap. Earthbound is probably
the most mature game Nintendo ever developed as its humor is sophisticated (you
find a suspicious yellow submarine), and its story multilayered. The only real
problem is the battle system… it’s terrible. The fights are incredibly one-dimensional and graphically look like utter crap. That being said, the game
is truly a diamond in the rough. By the way, make sure to eat all the
hamburgers you find in the trash.
