I think Mario and Sonic are horrible. Admittadly (sp?), the gameplay for both is good, but everything else: bad. Of course, if they didn't have advanced storylines (You know, only like: OMG someone wants to destroy teh world. Now go kill him), or wierd stuff,(A fat plumbers kills turtles and rides on a dinosaur that eats turtles and turns them into eggs to save the princess who got kidnapped by a turtle king. WTF? And a blue hedgehog runs around jumping on robots created by a fat guy. WTF? Again.) then they would be good. My rant is over now.
