Super Paper Mario (Wii)
+ Great visualdesign!!
+ Awesome story with heavy focus on how love can save the universe. Spread the love!
+ Excellent humor. Great comments and references makes it really fun to read all the dialogue!
+ Extremely good usage of the Mariouniverse. Feels very nostalgic but feels very fresh at the same time.
+ Many nice gamemechanics (mindblowing 3D flipping), items and abilities.
+ Lenghty campaign with loads of extra stuff so look for and collect. Easily 20 effectivehours without trying.
--------------------------------------------------------
-Camera can get very confusing if you need to aim properlywhen flipped to 3D
- On occasion you run into somannoying backtracking or stretching of levels.
- Bosses are a bit to easy (but still VERY impressive to look at)

Score: 9.0
