Paper Mario Reviewed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (AAA)

Let's see what Paper Mario got from IGN!

Presentation:

9

It's just a ****c Bowser-kidnaps-Princess plotline, but this story's given much more character through its characters. You'll love Chuck Quizmo.

Graphics:

7

Not amazing when compared with its Wii-compatible sequels, but Paper Mario's pixilated, 2D characters are ultimately no distraction.

Sound:

8

Scored by Fire Emblem alum Yuka Tsujiyoko, Paper Mario is vividly appointed with catchy, expressive tunes and comical audio cues.

Gameplay:

9

Mario's paper-based quest blends platforming and role-playing into a cohesive and addictive experience. An excellent, accessible and fun RPG design.

Lasting Appeal:

8

Depth! It's what we've wanted from other VC releases and have rarely found, but Paper Mario's eight chapters and multiple hours of exploration are deep indeed.

After over 100 different Wii Shop downloads, it's not often now that a game makes me actively excited to get connected, click through to New Releases and confirm a purchase - but Paper Mario did just that. It's an excellent title that's pure Nintendo, it's held up very well even placed into context against its GameCube and Wii era sequels, and it's an RPG for goodness sakes. It's about time we had a true, deep, hours-upon-hours long adventure to be able to spend our Wii Points on - and here it is, so do just that. Paper Mario will run you 1000 of your Points, and it's worth every one. Grab it and enjoy one of Mario's best "different genre" placements.

And the final score is:

9.0

I was gonna play Paper Mario again, but my Nintendo 64 finally broke.Stabby2486

That sucks.

It totally deserved that score.:D

One of the best games of the N64/PSone era.

Two9 two 8 and one 7 and it got 9.0?,Something is not right.Banhammer3000

The score isnt an average.

It's graphics got a 7 compared to other Wii games? :lol:

But wow, I'm surprised this is still an AAA game.

Different categories weigh differently, just like with GS's old review system.

He might as well had said it, this is the only time he could had said that and not be subject to flaming. I applaud him for good timing.

Grats sheep on another AAA exclusive.

Edit- Just noticed it was a IGN score. Still grats on good score from them.

A VC game? :|

I can get an N64 for $20 and Paper Mario for $10 off ebay. Why the hell would you spend an extra $220+tax and $15 just to play a 10 year old game? Not to mention it's always better to play an old game on it's orignal platform.

At first i was like wtf? and thought i traveled back in time or this was a thread from ye olde past, but i just figured out that this is for the virtual console on the Wii

Dude, you don't understand... Star Fox 64 was the best Star Fox game ever.

(That's right, it's my opinion and I'm passing it off as truth... everybody's doing it)
