Perfection, like TTYD. Shame it's been 14 years since a real Paper Mario game.
---

Hasnt aged well. Hard to go back after ttyd.

TTYD is better, but when this game came out it was my jam

I played and enjoyed the sequel.

Every time I tried playing the first one, I found myself getting distracted.

It's probably a good game.

Siege on Bowser's Castle is an amazing progression of music:

TTYD just shits on this game but in a vacuum it is still good. 4/5

Lol cmon. The amount of nostalgia blind fanboys rating it 5/5 is ridiculous.

Currently playing through it right now, and I'm on Chapter 5. Great game tbh, but TTYD makes it feel aged.

>Partners get injured instead of having HP
>Partners can't use items
>The action commands feel sorta... off

But that's more of a symptom of First Game Syndrome. Really enjoying this game so far!

5/5.

That's the problem with having a superb sequel to a superb game. Sometimes the original doesn't get the same credit it deserves.

No, it's that fucking good and hilarious.

most of these games could warrant a 5 star, if it was your jam

4/5

Really fun game that I still need to complete.
---

I don't even think TTYD is better. They're both basically equal in my opinion, so it just comes down to preference. I prefer the first a little bit more.
