Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (3DS)

[magnifiedplaid]

I'm 5 hours into this game now, and it's excellent. It seems like a better overall game than Dream Team was. The pacing just seems better, and mixing the Paper Mario elements into the exploration and battle system really keep things fresh. Best of all, no crappy as hell gyroscope controls in this game either. It seems like they raised the challenge a bit in the boss fights too. Pokey is kicking my ass.

But yeah, ignore that stupid ass 5.9 review from IGN. If you liked all the other Mario and Luigi games, then you're sure to like this one.

Wait, who here even looks at IGN?

I played four more hours of this today, and the battle system seems to be evolving slightly from past games. The bottom screen now allows you to use different cards in battles to cast certain defensive/power buffs and attack spells. It's just another nice touch, to keep the battle from getting stale. Strategic use of the cards definitely helps with some of the tough boss battles. Wendy and Roy Coopa are some cheap ass bitches
