User Rating: 8.1 | Super Paper Mario WII
Super Paper Mario is an adorably cute game full of plenty of style to grab anyone's attention. Despite the interesting artistic choices the gameplay itself doesn't quite measure up to that same standard. Instead of using random battles like in previous Mario RPG games this one takes place in real-time with a more old-school platforming style of gameplay. It's not terribly bad but yet not terribly great either. It's one of those deals where it can be fun jumping on enemies but most of the time you will be running back and forth looking for keys to open the next locked door so you can move on. There's really not that many enemies to pummel and sometimes the puzzles can just be annoying. This causes the pacing problem that the official review from Gamespot mentioned. That and the huge amount of text also slows things down considerably.
Bosses can be enjoyable but the best feature of this game is its humor. Certain parts of the game are just flat out hilarious and make the game worthwhile. The plot is mostly the typical corny-stuff you would probably expect but it's still compelling. Besides the 8 different levels (made up of typically 4 sub-levels) will take you roughly 10-20 hours to complete and theres plenty of diversions withing Flipside and Flopside (considered your base-town in this game) to keep you playing for quite a while.
Super Paper Mario is fun for anyone.
