2-D never looked so good

User Rating: 9.5 | Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door GC
The original paper mario was a classic, no ifs ands or buts. The new paper mario isnt perfect, but it does manage to capture the true escence that made the orginal paper mario soar. This game is your standard RPG in many way, you pick a move and execute it, you have hp, fp (mp basically) and a counter/dodge ability. You travel around various worlds, collecting side kicks and gaining new abilities. Ultiamtely, this game boils down to pressing a and b, and funny enough, it works flawlessly. Paper mario 2 is a superb game that brings the power back to mario, even if he is 3-d, the game isnt revolutionary, heck, the graphics arent even that stunning, but the gameplay is just so fun that the specifics dont really matter. You will be hopelessly addicted to this one forever.
