Earthbound Beginnings is an NES rpg, which should speak for itself in terms of quality. The soundtrack is pretty good, a lot of the songs are catchy. The dance scene is cute. The idea of an rpg in "modern" towns is cool. That's about all I can say positively about this game. Plot progression is all over the place, I managed to find melody 6 before melodies 1, 3, 4, and 5. The story is nonsensical, and not in the funny Earthbound sense. The gameplay is very bare and outlandishly unbalanced, ESPECIALLY near the end of the game. The game doesn't look great, the color scheme just looks pale and the sprites are low quality. It was certainly an experience playing this game for the first time, one that I'm pretty sure I won't want to go back to again.
