Mario Sunshine makes a great first impression. It looks great, and as you start the game, you'll find that is also plays quite well. But as it goes on, it begins to fall off. The "episodic" nature of the levels makes for a radically uneven experience. A lot of the episodes are great, but some veer off into utter frustration. And when you reach the end, it kind of just falls flat. High highs, and very low lows. And the collectathon is not fun. Skip it, if you're not a Mario fan.
