It holds up the best as a standalone game, but I actually think it gets dragged down a bit by its sequels. Not to say it's my favorite ZE game (spoilers: it isn't), but something about the direction the series went soured me on the 999 story. If the plot didn't end up revolving around trying to save the world, and ended with the original nonary game, I feel like it would have more of an impact. Because of this, it settles around my mid-90s. #93 - Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Gamecube, 2004) TTYD used to be my favorite Paper Mario game. It's still my favorite battle system in a Paper Mario game, but boy are there some truly disastrous chapter design decisions going on here that really got exposed to me when I replayed it a few years ago. Chapter 1's mostly fine, except it's basically a re-skin of PM's chapter 1, but hey, that's fine. Chapter 2 is where things start to de-rail and never really recover. The only way to navigate the tree is to memorize the layout of each floor, because they all look exactly the same. Chapter 3's ideas are absolutely phenomenal, but we really could've done with about 1/2 of the battles it actually had. Then we hit Chapter 4, which is completely inexcusable. It has the biggest wtf moment in the entire series, but other than that, the chapter consists of running back and forth along the same fucking path FIVE TIMES. WHY. Chapter 5 gets back on track, and is probably the best overall chapter in the game. It's unique and has a great dungeon. Awesome, time to end the game on a high not- never mind, Chapter 6 sucks and the dungeon is awful. And then Chapter 7 completely ruins most of the good will I had for the game. It's lucky the battle system is so good and that the Pit of 100 Trials was such a cool idea, because otherwise the last third of the game would be entirely irredeemable. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:949040274] in The Board ...
