A delightful surprise..very enjoyable ,and addictive..
well anyway out of all the wii titles out there this was probably the only current wii title worth playing that I have not already completely conquered..
So I managed to get a copy of this title the day it was released, I took it home after work and started playing it, most things that have been in previous paper mario games r there, shops, fortune tellers etc.. however the turn based fighting was removed and ya know what im totally fine with it, the rpg elements r for the most part almost non-existent now, which has its plus's and its minus's but nothing to write home about..
actually the fact that turn based everything is gone is kinda cool because now you can do all sorts of cool stuff diring combat and it sometimes makes for some interesting fights/moments...., if you r injured you can also avoid alot of dangers by flipping from 2d-3d, also you can only get to certain areas by flipping.. the neatest thing on top of flipping from 2d-3d r these little characters called pixl's which you find throught the many stages of the game, these pixels give you the ability to do differant things and usually aid you in reaching places that were inaccessable previously..
the artwork is simple which im kinda becoming accustomed to on the wii thus far, but it definately has alot of style to it, nintendo and intelligent systems definately do a great job of making something simple seem so damn genius..seriously though this game feels totally nostalgic when in 2d mode its like playing some good old school mario.. then you throw in the multiple twist the game offers you and you got an instant classic...
