Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review:4 stars (No Title) - Paper Mario number 2 is nintendo's much needed RPG. The gamecube(or nintendo) hasen't had a good role player since the first 'slim n' trim' mario game, and this is flat out fantastic.
The plot isen't to surprising, Princess Peach gets kidnapped agian for the upmost time, but at least not from Bowser, from an evil army of 'surfer-dude' sounding X-nauts. Bowser is a playable character in the game, but not really an important character. The plot is that ,besides Peach being kidnapped, Mario came to the Husler filled town of Roughsport, on Peach's will, to find seven crystal stars which open the Door, supposedly is filled with treasure(but is not). He travels from all the locations on his magical map which shows where the stars are. The X-nauts are hunting for them, as well as Bowser is, and you do incouter the 'nauts numerous times. In each place the stars are, their is a party member as well as a pathitic boss fight. During your diffrent chapters, you find many intresting things, as the mafia, wrestling arenas', and the moon, also the lottery & Luwigi who is on his own mission to find Princess Eclaire in a totally origonal adventure. You also get to use the diffrent functions of paper: boat, airplane, thin, and tube.
Heres an extra, to obtian the mouse theif Ms. Mowz, look for an anonamus trouble at the trouble center. And last of all, at the end of the 100 trials pit is something very speacial, I won't say what, but here a hint, it's a very speacial badge.4 stars (A sequel...!!??) - When I first saw that a sequel to Paper Mario was being made, I could hardly contain my joy! Paper Mario had been my favorite game for years, and I always waited for news of a sequel. I got it for Christmas after it came out and I loved it. The plot, in my opinion, is great but the details confuse sometimes... The graphics were great, and I got so addicted to this one too. It's true that the storyline didn't make me totally obsessed like the first one did, but it's still awsome.
There are a couple of things that really bother me though. Most of Mario's partners look just like the old partners from the original, save for maybe a gender change or a hairstyle change or something like that. Flurrie looks very disturbing. And the final boss, -name withdrawn for fear of spoiler-, seems very... offensive. =O Well, it's much darker than the usual Bowser. I don't believe that that stuff should be mentioned in kids' games.
Which brings to mind another issue. I've noticed some people saying this game is for young kids!? I'm a highschooler, darn it! I'm also very immature for my age though, so don't pay any attention to my likes or dislikes. Some of it, like the more comical scenes, did look like they were geared towards younger gamers.
With all this negative stuff being said, you're probably wondering why I gave it 4 stars. For the most part, it DID live up to the original. The characters are great, the scenes are exciting and sometimes funny, and I was still glued to the Gamecube.5 stars (THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!Please read.) - This is the best game ever!Its the best gc game i have, no the best GAME i have alone!!!!Unravel the mystery of the 1000 year door.It has fun role play and it lasts a long time.HOURS of fun packed up in a little mini disc!!!Uncover alies, beat the baddies,and stop the demon in the 1000 year door.My favorite chapter is the pro wrestling,every minute of it, even when i stepped out of the hot air baloon!!!!Im watching you ganzalas!And it has lots of the typical mario humer too!In 2 weeks it became a best seller!It is STILL like 40 bucks!So worth the money.Youll always have a smile on your face.I just cant imagine someone without a smile playing this game.Its fun to just even watch!THANK YOU NINTENDO!!!!!!Here are the goods and bads about the game:
