Well I stayed up all night completing the game last night (hence my absense to the site) and I must say I rather enjoyed it, I found the ability to flip into 3D a nice addition to the series, I myself sadly never played the original paper mario but I do have the GC game and I liked it so. The game I must admit had it's failing points, the monotonous running through doors fighting 20 vassals of chapter 6 seemed like a sad excuse to run the game on a bit longer, also the part in chapter 2 where you must gather an unreasonable ammount of money (yes i know you only need 10,100, but it's still annoying ammount) The game was overall a nice addition to the series but I would call it one of the weaker mario games, the removal of the turn based fighting gave the game a nice sense of mario nostalga, but it made the fighting over all far too easy. It's random moments such as fighting the 3 headed chomp which turned into something from a FF game type of battle, and the quirky moments during fort francis where Peach is placed in a dating program where rather lulzy, but overall I feel Paper mario is a branch of Mario that has reached it's end, the designers seemed short on ideas for this game and introduced factors that i mentioned above to lengthen it's gameplay. I would recommend it though to anyone with a wii, it's still ejoyable. What are your thoughts on the game?
lol what, you're not even supposed to do that, if you talk to one of the workers he mentions that there is a Safe hidden there, turn 3D on the 3rd Floor and you enter the wall, go up to the roof and there will be a Safe there, crack it open and you instantly get all the money you need. Seriously.
I played the Gamecube one, which was pretty good... The battle system was sorta dull, but I liked other aspects of the game.
The first one was awesome, and one was pretty good too. The 3D aspect did make some puzzles quite interesting. The 100 floor dungeons were my favorite part, especially the second one with all the dark monsters. They did quite a number on me. I enjoyed all the different kind of pixls as opposed to just having a few friends join your party. Dashell is my favorite. If you can spare the 1000 wii points, I suggest getting the first one too.
