8.5, aint bad, aint bad at all *dreads what GS will think of it.*hyruledweller

Gamespot is going to like it a lot more than they did from the previews go read them.  They are loving it.  If you guys were wondering why it got a 8.5 this pretty much sums it up...."The problem with Paper Mario is that there is a story" (from the review) basically all they wanted was a platforming and not to have interact with anything..... So basically this makes me even more pumped for the game if it got docked due to there preference of a no story mario game...

I agree, GS will hopefully like it, considering the past 2 PMs got AAA.

It's a magazine, so I can't read the review, but if that's the main complaint, I don't have a problem with it. What I want, though, is for the story to be as good as Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. The idea of a Mario game having a good story may seem odd, but PM:TYD was hilarious.

I had no idea this game was so close to being finished. Guess that's what happens when you drop out of the loop.

I'm crossing my fingers that this game will have the same brilliant writing as the other two.

Are you serious? They took off points because it had a story?

But, 8.5 is good.

Actually, Gamespot gave Paper Mario: TTYD a higher score than they did also. Hope it carries over.

Basically they wanted a straight up platformer of old like Super mario bros 3... etc.  I think they forgot why type of game it was actually supposed to be.

One review says 8.5.  That's a pretty good score, which means some other sites are probably going to rate the game high as well.

You know the issue of score is just petty when you have people arguing over a few tenths of a point.

Didn't play give Sonic on the 360 a high score?  That immediately puts them into question.

I know.

But he said so far so good, as if it were living up to it's hype on other websites.

And it's not.

Wait for the GS review people, it will not get AAA.

Gamespot gave it a higher score then average for the past two Paper Mario games... and this mag took points away because it had a story and is not plain old platforming.

Hm... The official website of Play Magazine only has two Wii reviews up to compare with. They gave Zelda a 9.5 and Monkey Ball an 8.0. So they seem reasonable, but who knows how they'll compare to GameSpot on this one?

hmm...I just hope this game doesn't get Jeff Gerstmann'd.

Then he'll complain about the tacked on controls and give a mid AA or lower. Keep in mind that SPM was originally a GC game.

I've hyped it AAA, although i knew a solid AA was more realistic... Here's hoping GS will give it AAA. Anyway, 8.5 is a great score. Although the review is an offline source, anybody know what pulled down the score?

Someone at level 33 doesn't know what a sheep is? A sheep is a nintendo fanboy.

I think he means that "sheeps" isn't a word.:P

I'm sure Super Paper Mario will be great.

They also gave Sonic and SSX 7's, which is about the average. Then again they gave Wario: Master of Disguise a 9. Take with a grain of salt.

[QUOTE="hyruledweller"]8.5, aint bad, aint bad at all *dreads what GS will think of it.*MasterChumly

Gamespot is going to like it a lot more than they did from the previews go read them. They are loving it. If you guys were wondering why it got a 8.5 this pretty much sums it up...."The problem with Paper Mario is that there is a story" (from the review) basically all they wanted was a platforming and not to have interact with anything..... So basically this makes me even more pumped for the game if it got docked due to there preference of a no story mario game...

I like seeing Gamerankings scores after they have at least twenty reviews. Those are scores that are sure to be fair. You can't go wrong with averages.
