Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door Review

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.

Man, I really need to get this game... but none of the places I go to have the damn thing... shouldve reserved it...

I'll be picking this one up eventually for sure.

It's just not an "eventually" game. It's a NOW game.

I've put 14 1/2 hours into the game so far (yeah, that's since Wednesday) and I'm just over half done. I haven't been using a guide at all and I feel like I'm flowing through it at a good pace. But I'm sure as Hell not rushing myself either. There are plenty of secrets (badges, star pieces to buy badges, etc.) that are keeping my interest enough for me not to completely rush. But even if I had been rushing I don't think I could be where I am in less than 11 hours. Definitely a 20-40 hour game depending how in depth you're playing it.

Surprised to see the very good score it received from Gamespot, that guy is usually overly critical about games like this. I think I might pick it up soon to play while I wait for Halo 2. Been a long time since my Cube did anything besides collect dust.

I just beat it last night with a clocked 26 hours. Really good game. Constant comedy that just kept me laughing and a story that kept me entertained all the way through.

I got it yesterday, I've only played a little bit so far. It seems pretty cool though. Want to hear something funny though, on the cover art there's a little seal that says, "Best Seller" Lol, talk about tricking less informed gamers. How could it be a best seller when it's only been out for a couple days.
