An interesting and entertaining change of direction in the Paper Mario series.
User Rating: 9 | Super Paper Mario WII
I really enjoyed playing this even though it is much more of a mixed-genre game than either of its predecessors, combining as it does platforming and puzzling with the original RPG style. Personally I think this is an improvement over the two previous games in the series, although this is clearly something of a hotly debated topic. For me, the added extra types of gameplay extend the life of the game, making it a really interesting and rewarding experience overall. I particularly like Mario's 2D to 3D "flip" ability, I think I will never be bored of being able to do that, it's such a fun feature of the game.
In summary, this really is a very good game - it's simple to pick up and play, it always offers something new each time it is played, and it is certainly a worthy addition to the Paper Mario series. My only criticism is that it is perhaps a little bit on the easy side, but that is of course a very subjective thing given how differently skilled at game-playing we all are.
