Video Game Reviews of Super Paper Mario
Customer Review: Worth a one-time play
Summary: 3 Stars
Seems all video games have virtually no coding bugs these days, and this one is of no exception. However, Nintendo should have stuck to their style of its prequels.
I won't get into the game play, as I prefer the technical side of things.
Response time is excellent. Everything works well. (Wii remote's batteries don't last as long as they should with any game, so use rechargables.) Finding puzzles and clues very difficult without the player's guide. Flipping to 3-D is tedious. Probably named it Super Paper Mario for a reason. (No turn-based battles, but stomping - makes playing faster, a good thing in that respect.)
It is a great game, really, but most won't give it a second go. The game takes about as long to finish as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (my favorite and IMO the best Mario game since Super Mario Bros. for the NES).
Everything other than the main characters are shapes. Very distasteful and almost every game you could name (after the 'simplicity age' of gaming) weren't done that way. Doesn't appeal to me. Couldn't they have made the characters realistic? (The boss characters are quite good, really.)
Music in a video game, I don't care. Rather listen to game music than today's stuff.
Recommended only if you will be playing it once and then playing something else, or if you don't care for turn-based battles, this game will play nicely.
This may be a critical review, based on my experiences only, and not meant to suggest poor execution. Every Mario and Zelda game have tested the times almost perfectly--every time, and then some.
Description of Super Paper Mario
The newest chapter of the Paper Mario story isn't just out of this world.it's out of this dimension! What at first glance appears to be a 2-D sidescroller ripped straight from the stylized pages of the Paper Mario universe soon turns into a hilarious dimension-shifting platformer possible only on Wii! 2-D...AND 3-D! Run through vibrant 2-D worlds, stomping on enemies and breaking blocks....then, with the press of a button, flip into 3-D! In the 3rd dimension, you'll find hidden paths, battle foes, and uncover secrets as you explore the previously invisible depth of the 2-D landscapes! Unique Wii controls! Hold the Wii Remote sideways and control the game in classic Super Mario Bros. style! You can shake the Wii Remote to pull off stylish moves and break out of frigid ice and even point directly at the screen to get helpful hints from your sidekick. Not only that, but you'll also play as Peach and Bowser, both with their own sets of essential skills. Hilarious adventure! When a mysterious villain kidnaps Peach and Bowser and forces them to get married, their union creates a rift of dark energy that threatens to tear the universe apart! Hilarious characters, laugh-out-loud plot twists, and unforgettable dimensions await as Mario makes his way through eight worlds, each more memorable than the last!Adventure Games
