8.8 OFFICIAL!

The Good: Fun, engaging gameplay; great sense of humor; lengthy quest with a respectable amount of replay value. The Bad: Awkward camera when flipping to 3D; weak audio; pacing issues with some of the later levels.

In the end, while it's not quite on par with some of the other entries in the series, Super Paper Mario stands as an engaging and fun Wii game that's well worth your time. Though the minor camera and pacing issues as well as the underwhelming audio keep the game from being a totally polished experience, there's plenty to appreciate. Super Paper Mario's humorous story, accessible gameplay, inventive design, cool visual style, and impressive amount of content give it an undeniable charm. Anyone with a Wii should check it out.

NICE!~ That's a really good score for a wii game, not exactly the score I expected (9.1 at least) but still, if it gets the same score as TP, then I'm more than sold now.

Yeah...but I never heard any other site really complain about it. Still 8.8 is a very nice score...but I was expecting 9.1, but in the end scores mean nothing...it all boils down to taste. And I will certainly be picking this little beauty up! :)

Oh, NOBODY SHOULD FREEK OUT OR CALL IT UNFAIR.

8.8 is Great, just as good as Zelda:TP. You see, Its a reviewers job to nitpick, and if they cant find anything to nitpick about, then they aren't doing their job well. As you could tell (Tilt 10/10) he loved the game, and as long as you can like a game, Its worth it.


 P.S. I love Paper Mario too, I'm no hater.

Well, like Twilight Princess, this IS another gc port, and 8.8 isn't that bad of a score IMO.

I personally agree with the camera issues it is the only negative that I noticed after watching a whole bunch of gameplay trailers. I was also surprised that no site mentioned it, so I guess it's more of a pet peeve. The pacing issues aren't a big deal since that is how it was near the end of thousand year door.

why dont people understand the meaning of the word "great" GREAT - (def) remarkable or out of the ordinary in degree or magnitude or effect; "a great crisis"; "had a great stake in the outcome i mean...great, that doesnt deter me from wanting the game... maybe GS doesnt wanna give these early games high scores so that ssbb, smg, and mp3 will sweep cuz if these games got 9.3 or 9.5 or whatever we want, then the big three would (by peoples opinions on these boards) have to score 9.7 and up, and if they didnt, people would get mad idk

Wario Ware still the highest rated game by Gamespot. Something strange about that, when every other site seems to have ranked TLOZ:TP and SPM higher. I think Gamespot sucks at reviews (though I don't have problems with this review as much as the others).

god what the hell is with gamespot? They hyped this game to DEATH and they give it an 8.8? I mean, I saw it coming being that it isn't like the other paper marios, but damn I didn't see the gamespot hype coming so that prompted me to think differently.

I picked it up today at Target. So far it's pretty good game.  I like it...I think the controls are appropriate and smart.  It's a nice blend of action plat-former and rpg.  Don't be affraid of the rpg elements as their waaay less compared to traditional rpgs.  The IGN review convinced me already before GS placed theirs. For now on...I plan on only getting games after the review comes out from either IGN or GS.  I say this since I was disappointed with MoH (I hate it)--I picked that one up before the review--big mistake.

GS never hyped the game up, gamers did that, Showing a game and making a preview on a game isn't hyping it up at all, and the game is nothing like the last entries in the series.

I've never seen such coverage from GS. No Zelda, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy or Halo got such attention.

They mean at times in the game it slows down. it is not always the same amount of fun throughout the whole game. At times the action will slow down, so by pacing it just means that you may find it boring or repetitive along the way at times.

Yah the 4 hour marathon did seem pretty exsessive. especially in an RPG. all that dialog made it seem a little boring at times. its odd that we havent seen it for other great games. It would be cool if they had a SSBB tournament marathon when it comes out.
