LOOK FOR MORE REVIEWS BY LOOZUR!!!

this is by far the best mario game i've ever played. it was adventerous, cool, ingeniously designed graphics & better than the original. the only problem was that it was extremeley hard on first try & extremeley short and easy on a replay. but even for an experienced gamer (like me, member since year 1) it will keep you entertained for weeks & is definiteley worth replaying. my favorite part about this game was the strategic fighting order, sonic chronicles did a similar fighting setup but not as good. the items, special moves, jumps, hammers, and badges were the most ingenious gaming characteristics i've probably EVER seen. i really think sega tried to copy this game with sonic chronicles, so i reccomend this game over sonic chronicles & i reccomend sonic chronicles over this if you're looking for replay value.

When I started with GameFly this was one of my first rentals. I enjoyed it immensely. I love RPGs and I love Mario, so this game was a perfect combination. The characters are entertaining, the game play is solid, puzzles are mildly challenging for adults and possible more so for kids. If you have a GameCube it is a must buy or rent.

The game play is long and adventurous. The battling is easy to get used to and enjoyable to the end. Special abilities plentiful. Not too difficult for kids, however, there is a lot of reading for a kids game. Adults will understand the plot, but I am sure kids will not have the patience to read all the dialog that goes on.

I highly recommend this title for kids and adults alike. With Nintendo, anything with Mario in it is almost a sure thing.

When ever a RPG staring Mario comes out its safe to say that the game is going to be good. And Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a good example, because this is one of the best games for the Game Cube.

If you played the original Paper Mario then you know what to expect form the game play, sense it’s pretty much the same as before, but that’s not a bad thing, sense the game play in the original was already good, but that doesn’t mean that the game play hasn’t been improved. For starters the battle system has got some new stuff added such as the audience, so the way the audience works is cool, basically depending on how the battle is going will affect what the audience will do, for example if your not doing that well then the audience will throw stuff at you, or when you doing well then the audience will give you items, so this makes the battles much more interesting. The game play itself hasn’t changed, so it’s pretty much the same as it was on the N64, but that’s not a bad thing sense the game play in the original was good to begin with.

So the graphics in the game look very nice, the environments are nice and colorful. However, the graphics haven’t gotten a huge upgrade, the game dose look better then the first one but there’s not much deference between them, but the game still looks good.

The audio in the game is nice; the music in the game is good. However, there is no voice acting so you’ll have to read lots of text, so for those of you who don’t like reading lots of text that could be in issue.

So the game clocks in at about 40 hours, and that’s not counting all the side quests that the game has, so there’s a lot to keep you busy with this game for a long time.

Over all it’s a great RPG that’s very fun to play, and it will keep you busy for a long time, I would recommend this to anyone who’s looking for good long enjoyable game.
