Default Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door Review

Quote:
7.5 <---- Presentation
Nintendo's classic characters, great menu systems, and a unique, but limited style. Bare bones presentation package for an RPG (static look, no voice acting, simplistic cut-scenes).
*
7.5 <---- Graphics

The great-looking environments and cute characters go a long way. Too bad the texture work and artistic scope is limited in some levels.
*
9.0 <---- Sound
Nostalgic melodies and sound effects all around -- no cheesy attempts at doing midi orchestras here. It's game music at its purest.
*
10 <---- Gameplay

A great adventure, awesome mixture of exploration, roleplaying and action, and a fun battle system make this a true winner.
*
9 <---- Lasting Appeal

More than 30 hours of gameplay, varied conversations (depending on your partner of choice), and tons of stuff to collect and find.
If you have any more questions, I assure you I'll answer them in the blink of an eye. Unless I'm Stalin for time.

I liked the first one a lot and this one sounds good too.

Yeah, I just put about 2 1/2 hours into this tonight (it's 2AM). I have to say I'm totally impressed. The comedy is just so great. I like it a lot better than the first Paper Mario if not as much as Mario RPG.

Oh so very very creative of you.

Unless I am mistaken and its from something else as well.


But good review...although you did nothing.....you just C&P...but it was a good heads up.
