Enjoyed the story, especially liked that the plot isn't what I thought it was. Characters were well written and I genuinely enjoyed exploring Salem and getting all the collectibles. The cool thing about playing it again and knowing what is going on is that the cut scenes and some of the character interactions take on a whole new meaning.

The graphics are nicely upscaled and the map looks great. My only gripe is that the UI is a bit clunky. Other than that it is pretty much exactly like I remember (though much more stable than the original). Highly recommend especially since they included merchants from Medieval 2. Played the original campaign as Bruti and Barbarian Invasion as Vandals.

I can't believe I defended this game back in 2002. As a platformer maybe I can give it a 3 out of 5 but as a Mario game, it is a 2 out of 5. The controls are not as tight as they should be. Mario is constantly slipping around, hard to make him look straight. It controls worse in the stages without Fludd. Fludd is annoying the entire game, some moves are hidden and not explained in game or manual. Jump sometimes does not work. Visual look is nice and bosses look nice but the controls and repetition of stars, the fact that you can't approach stars in any order really bring this game down, but mainly, the poor controls. No desire to get all the stars.

Very good strategy RPG. I really enjoyed the systems and the fact that your decisions actually matter. Not a big fan of the ending I got but I'm looking forward to new game+. They set it up nicely where you keep your troops and items and levels. The story is ok but there is too much of it. I think 30 hours of the 78 I played were story.
