| I love the original Mario games for the older nintendo. This game is different and at times you get lost in where you are going. The first few levels pose little challenge. Will be looking forward to the release of the new Mario Brothers for the Wii Nov 15th. |

| This is a 1 player game that lets you go through a story, and there is a lot of story telling. Keep an eye out for shortcuts, and flip often to see what can not be seen when normal. Lots of key to memorize and story to follow. I give it a B+ rating. |

| I have been playing Mario games on different platforms since the 80's and this is by far the best Mario game to come out in a long time. This game is a must! |

I bought this game for my family since Super Mario Galaxy had made us dizzy on numerous occasions (traversing all those globes got to be disorienting). I guess I was also looking for something familiar and semi-nostalgic since I had grown up with the original NES.
Paper Mario is advertised as being playable in 2d or 3d, but both formats are necessary to solving puzzles presented therein. At first, flipping back and forth seems a bit annoying, but after a while it's pretty fun; you forget you can even do it until you're stumped, and then it's as if you're looking at a problem from a totally new perspective (which in fact you are!).
Longtime fans of Mario's hijinks will not be disappointed with this release. All the familiar themes are there, as are the characters. The princess still needs saving, Koopa's still making trouble, and there are a whole lotta tricks, traps, and challenges awaiting our moustaschioed hero.
If I had to single out one annoyance, it would be the overly wordy dialogue that establishes the plot and runs throughout the game. In the old days, they simply said "rescue the princess," and off you went. now there are numerous dialogues at every step (something that will try the patience of older NES fans).
But the wordiness and dialogue isn't a total wash. In laying out what is essentially an epic cycle and 17 steps of the hero, it's closer to traditional epic than perhaps any other game I have seen.
Most importantly, it's a fun game... and a worthy successor to the Mario's of old.
