A game I'll have to buy

There's a ton of fresh gameplay mechanics built around the 2d papery mario theme, and some nice use of the Wii's controller. Every level is creative and exciting in different ways, and the puzzles are tough enough to keep me playing without becoming annoying. My only gripe, is the amount of mostly pointless dialogue used to reiterate the same story that gets thoroughly explained right at the beginning... But there is so much great content, the characters are so well done, and the artwork is so pretty, that I definitely won't be sending this game back to gamefly.

I was a huge fan of the Gamecube game from a few years back. So when i heard this game coming out, i made sure to just go buy it without hesitation. It has the perfect blend of not having to overly use your WII mote and a throw back to the original nes by using the WIImote horizontally. It also has a perfect blend of real time RPG and great humor.

Super Paper Mario

This game is simply amazing. The first few levels are a bit slow, but speed up a bit later when Mario gets thrown into a sweatshop or when you control a Peach dating sim. The controls are simple and extremely easy, and the music matches the levels brilliantly. The characters all have different strengths and weaknesses, but you'll be using Mario for most of the game. The game is very well put together and the storyline is what it has always been: You are the legendary hero and must save the world. What's amazing, though minor it is, is that the save times are instantaneous. I'd say that this game's biggest flaw is how short it is. It's 20 hours long, so it's a good rental, but a game that will just sit in your closet if you buy it.
