Super Paper Mario

[frostwolf ex]

when i get a wii, this is on the first buy list.

[Opaque]

Achievements = $40

I'd pay $100 for Nintendo achievements on 360.

If only because it would be hilarious nonsense.

I hope this game isn't any good so I don't have to get a Wii

Looks better every time I see a new video or screenshot for it..definitely the first must buy Wii exclusive.

IGN review is up:

http://wii.ign.com/articles/778/778606p1.html

8.0 Presentation
The Paper Mario series reborn with a new emphasis on platforming. All your favorite characters are back and there's a humorous storyline, but there's also just way too much text to read.

7.5 Graphics
A beautiful 2D platformer and an uninspired 3D one. The worlds Mario explores look fantastic when they're flat, but the moment they gain depth they become barren landscapes.

7.5 Sound
Fitting silly sound effects and a compilation of MIDI music -- some of the tracks really ring true and others are throw-aways.

9.0 Gameplay
Really fun and extremely clever. You'll play it as a platformer, but there's a light RPG in place, too. Tight controls and clever levels that use the 2D/3D dynamic will impress you again and again.

9.0 Lasting Appeal
A good, long adventure that will span upward of 20 hours and that doesn't even consider some of the goodies you might have missed along the way.

8.9
Great OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

still easily ranks amongst the top-tier of Wii games to date.

A lot of competition there ya know.

but there's also just way too much text to read.

lol @ IGN and anyone who ever considers this a legitimate complaint

[James]

I don't know, I've seen a few games where I just want them to shut up and let me play. But that's a really poorly worded complaint.

Especially when they alternately praise the game's writing. "The writing is great, but words suck."
