Best Adventure 2005

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Published by Nintendo
Developed by Alphadream
Released November 28, 2005

Why we chose it: Alphadream is showing us its developer muscle in this year’s biggest adventure. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is one of the best games available this year on any platform — and with good competition from other console games, this is no easy feat. It may not take advantage of every DS feature, but honestly, it doesn’t need to. What Partners in Time does (and it does brilliantly, by the way), is implement the dual-screens for bigger battlefields, gorgeous cinematics, and smarter puzzle solving. What else is there to say? Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is the best Dual Screen adventure this year, and will probably still be one of the best after many, many years.

Runner-up:
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
