Super paper mario??

Hey, I was wondering if I should get super paper mario or wait for something like Resident Evil 4, I only have enough money to buy one of them and was wondering which one to buy?

by the way, how long is super paper mario?is it a short game?

If you didn't play RE4 for gamecube or PS2, save for that. (You do know it'll be 29.99, right?)

SPM is a long game, most people will take 25+ hours to beat it, assuming you don't use a walkthrough to fly to the end.

even longer if you are the type that has to collect everything.

I am personally not a fan of Super Paper Mario (the first two are SO MUCH BETTER) so I couldn't in good taste recommend it to you.  I guess I'm just not a big fan of the horrendous 2D art style they chose for the game, nor am I very fond of the rudimentary story and cheesy dialog.  It feels like some game I could make in kindergarden, so needless to say I was completely disappointed with the look and feel of the game, though there are a few redeeming qualities.  I don't even think it deserves a score in the high 8s.  Realistically, I'd score it more in the low 6 range. 

So yah, wait for ResidentEvil 4 or Smash Bros.  SPM isn't worth your time.

Spm is a great game, and you should get it if you are a fan of the other paper mario games.

On the other hand, RE4 is equally as awesome...

You are entitled to your own opinion but I feel you are bashing the game a little too much even if you didn't like it. I loved the art style myself, I found the story decent (even though predictable) and the dialog was funny. I feel with this game (SPM) you are going to get ppl that loved it and ppl that hated it (talking to the original poster). I guess if you are really curious about the game, rent it for a night and see what you think.

 Don't wait for Smash Brothers, I know I wouldn't want to wait that long to get a new game...

Just about everything he said is wrong, as the art style isn't horrendous (its the same as the previous two, pretty much..), and the dialogue is genuinely humorous, as every review has said.  there's a bit too much dialogue, but it is very funny.

It is very light on the RPG elements, if that's what you're looking for. 

The story is something that an eight year old might enjoy, but the gameplay is fantastic.  I wouldn't have thought that something as simple as switching between two and three dimensions would add such a great dynamic to a game, but it really does.  This is the one-player game that will take away a little bit of the pain brought on by the Summer doldrums.

 All that being said though, if you didn't play RE4 on GC or PS2, man, that is the game to get.  One of the best games in recent history with motion sensitive controls and a thirty dollar price tag?  Yes, please.
