| CherryCokes 01/01/21 4:16:25 PM #70: | Honorable Mention - Super Paper Mario (Wii, 2007) Super Paper Mario gets a lot of flak around these parts simply because it isn't like the previous entries in the Paper Mario series. While that's to be expected, given how beloved those two games are, SPM has been unfairly maligned, I think, as a result. If this game were judged on its own merits, like say, if it didn't have "Paper Mario" in the title creating unreasonable expectations, it would have a lot better reputation. It's clever, funny, and visually satisfying. The RPG elements are... not perfect, perhaps because they seem shoehorned in as if in anticipation of backlash at it for not being an RPG, but the fact remains: it's a good game. A good Mario game. Mario just happens to be made of Paper. Flipside and Flopside are a great dual-hub worlds, and Luigi, Peach, and Bowser give the game a welcome added... ehrm... dimension. If ever a game was in need of reappraisal, it's this one. --- "Mighty boobs." - Vlado ... Copied to Clipboard! |
