Super Paper Mario (SPOILERS)

*Cure* · 04-13-2007, 11:03 AM

I'm sorry for making a thread about this, but I think this game totally warrants it. So what does everyone think? The writing is absolutely top-notch and the gameplay is a blast. I read in some reviews that the music was underwhelming, but I'm really liking some of the songs, like the remix you hear when you get a Mega Star, or the theme music for the Pixls.

And since it has SPOILERS in the title, we don't need tags, right?

The game really is a ton of fun, the puzzles are top-notch. Is it as good as TTYD? I wouldn't say so, but it's still great. It's funny as hell, too. Francis will forever live as one of the greatest bosses in videogame history.

My favourite part of the game is actually the dialog. There are so many great quotes and quips in there that it's hard not to love it. I've seen a ton of people complain about the fact that there's too much talking, but I don't find that the case at all. And even when there is a lot of it, at least it's entertaining, and not the usual RPG drivel.

I'm currently on chapter 8-2, I believe, but it may be 8-3. I think it's true that the game does slightly degrade in quality in the last couple chapters, but it's not like it's a huge drop. The pacing is a little off, something that TTYD pulled off perfectly, but it's not that big of a deal.

I'm loving it, but I'm slowing down on it now that I'm near the end. I kinda don't want it to be over, so I'm savoring the last little bit. Actually...I think I'll go finish it up right now. I'll return when it's done!

Edit: OK. F*ck that. My Wii just froze. First time ever, and what a time to happen. F*ck.

It's totally worth it. Pick it up, man.

So I just beat it, great game, but the last two worlds weren't the best. And the game was really kind of a downer in the end, not all that good of an ending or anything, either. Oh well.

Did you do the pit of 100 trials?
