paper Mario part I

Ok fans here it is, the new paper Mario was released recently (without me having knowledge of it, how do they DO that?) and people are getting pretty excited. i will do super paper Mario, but first a trip through time.

having just replayed paper Mario on my bearable emulator i can give a pretty estimate review (i know you don't care but I'm doing it anyway)

of course bowser has kidnapped peach again, and we roll through the same shtick, of course when this game came out it was'nt nearly as boring. hey i like the whole princess in dire need cliche and all, but some traditions should be forgotten. just as with the new Zelda game, lets PLEEAAASE find a new enemy besides Ganondorf? for Christ sake.

Ok so I've got to say, my favorite mission, is the haunted forest one with Tubba Blubba. the forest is really neat, i love Tubba, he's like kinda funny looking, but when hes chasing you, HOLY SHIT. Run the heck out of there, i hope they bring him back, but they never do :(

also i should mention after about the fourth fortress i was getting pretty tired of the game. fighting bad guys is fun, but it's not the kind of thing you want to do all the time, they need some more jokes and interaction to fill in the blanks.

also i really resent the fact that they treat you like a child. the best example is when you go to a store, and they have little pictures of the items, not cool. give me a nice clean interface any old day, don't worry the kiddies are smart, they'll figure it out.




now i have a confession. I've never played the thousand year door. *shock*. have no fear I've bought a copy from Ebay for twenty dollars :D

the reason i bring this up. i was reading a review abut the new paper Mario, and i hear that the paper Mario series was... funny? comical even? am i hearing this right? no no no. i was complexed when i heard this astonishing trinket of gaming knowledge. paper Mario is funny huh? and what was more strange is it was worded, "is comical like its predecessors".

wow, man i don't know what they've been smoking, but the paper Mario i just played for n64, was not funny. i know because i actually played it after i heard this quote, JUST to make sure. its not even worth a chuckle. its like sort of reaching for a cough of a dying laugh, but thats it. the reason i brought up the fact that i will be playing the thousand year door, is because i want to make sure this quote is not completely driveling and drooley as it sounds. i enjoy a good laugh in games, its called entertainment, people generally like entertainment. and as for the new paper Mario, I've seen some pictures (such as this one here ----> Link: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/Epy0n/100_2622.jpg

which proves its humor, it looks like it has a few good laughs.


so to reiterate, over paper Mario (lets call it paper mario64)... id give it 7/10

it's good, i like it, which is more then i can say for most RPGs, but hey, theres room for improvement.
