Just to see what the masses said about Mario Sunshine, I took a look at the gamefaqs reviews. I noticed that Ashley Winchester had written one. You know, Ashley Winchester. The guy who would find a way to write a 3000 word review about Space Invaders.

Anyway, since nothing is really worth saying about the reviews, I'd just like to say that Ashley Winchester sure writes some shitty ones. I swear, it's like reading an IGN review (i.e., "lets start out with 4 pages of the series' history, and a recap of what I had for lunch before we mention something worth reading.").

From AW's SMS review:
The thought of playing the successor to Super Mario 64, a game that my parents got sick of videogames altogether (as I made them drive me to Toys R Us day after day to play Mario 64 in the weeks before the game released) was indeed driving me mad. I remember literally getting into arguments on Final Fantasy XI [import] over who played it first (as one user claimed he got the game almost a week early). Naturally, I was excited. So excited was I, that when news arrived that the import store I ordered the game from would not get their shipment in until the NEXT day (a Saturday), I did nothing short of go to New York City’s Chinatown and buy it right then and there, spending far more money on gas and tolls than had I simply waited until Sunday and incurred the Express Mail (Next Day Delivery Sunday Drop Off) fee. But it was all worth it, so long as I could play Super Mario Sunshine NOW, and not wait any longer.


Wow. Who gives a fuck.

In my mind, the only thing to credit Sunshine with is holding the title of being one of the biggest disappointments ever created.


He gave it a 7.
