I've been a big fan of the Paper Mario games for a long time. Ever since the original 'Paper Mario' came out for the N64 I was obsessed. If I remember correctly it really was the first game I stayed up the entire night and played until the wee hours of the morning. So when I popped in this next installment of Paper Mario, I was waiting to be pleased. It didn't happen. Something doesn't click with the new gameplay, with upgrades, and level ups. It just doesn't feel "Paper Mario" enough to me. I think part of me really says, "Yes for real time combat!" and the other part of me says, "But what happened to all the strategizing and timing you had to do?" I remember meticulously planning every move so I could get maximum damage, but this... this just isn't right. I'm sorry Nintendo, I was excited, and now... well, now, I don't know what to think. They marketed the 3-D flip ability as AWESOME and extremely useful... More like extremely OVER useful. If there's a puzzle, you can solve it by pressing that A button...
It's definitely fun for a couple hours, but not like the original Paper Mario.
