Visually awesome, great story...decent gameplay.

User Rating: 6.2 | Super Paper Mario WII
By chex81 | Review Date:
Being a longtime Paper Mario fan, I was anticipating this release since its first showing for Gamecube. Also, considering the Wii's lackluster lineup thus far, I needed my Nintendo fix.

Pros:
- Awesome visuals
- Story and Dialogue are great, as usual
- 3D concept is inventive

Cons:
- The level design is weak and repetitive
- The pacing is off
- Too much text (no voice overs)
- Wii functionality hardly there

Not what I expected...I havent really enjoy the game, it feels more like a chore than anything. I am almost done the game, its not as good as either of the previous Paper Mario titles....I expected the side-scrolling to work well with the series, but it seems to have worked against it. The gameplay just isn't fun...this is definitely one of the worst Mario titles i've ever played.
