A new direction!Is it the best ?

User Rating: 6 | Super Paper Mario WII
By Giratina667 | Review Date:
Super Paper is the newest entry in the Paper Mario subseries,though it takes the series in a new direction,it isn't entirely for the better.

Visual-The game is crisper than the previous entries,and still retains the style,albeit in a more outlandish way,with much surrealism,some characters are geometrically shaped or segmented.The game still looks good.

Sound-not much to say here,there's no voice acting,though that may be for the better,and attacks are met with a satisfying "Whack!"sound byte.

Story-good and engaging,but there's even MORE talking than TTYD,which gets in the way,though dialogue is clever and funny.

Gameplay-his is the game's greatest merit,but also it's downfall,The game is a platformer,rather than an RPG,though it retains a bizarre leveling sytem with a score rather than the easy to track star point system from 1 and TTYD,though the new system works.Unlike one and two,there are few sidequestswhich restricts longevity.

overall,the game is good but, it lacks the charm and great RPG gameplay that made the first 2 great.The devs need to try again.
