Pros: Gameplay is easy to learn, lots of side quests, appropriate for children, funny storyline Cons: Puzzles can be frustrating, not enough Luigi!
Paper Mario has the same basic concept as almost all of the other Mario games. The nefarious Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach and it is up to Mario to save the day. However, Bowser has also stolen the "Star Rod" which makes him invincible and he has...
Pros: Mario takes his hammer & plumber style on a unique visual adventure. Cons: Luigi has to be the Stay-At-Home Brother once again.
Summer in my house is punctuated by decadent laziness, when my son and I return from scorching outdoors to become immersed in a quality RPG. I purchased Paper Mario for our Nintendo 64 system during the school year when studying took precedence...
Pros: Great gameplay, music, control and graphics, it's an RPG on the N64. Cons: Too many puns for names! Some people just won't understand this game.
Not long ago, I wrote on a game that was relatively close to my heart. Developed long ago by Square in conjunction with Nintendo, this Super Nintendo gem was probably one of the best roleplaying games that still stands the test of time. Starring Nintendo...
Pros: Control, graphics, sound, game play, it's an N64 RPG Cons: it's frustrating when you can't figure out what to do
Everybody’s (well, almost everybody’s) favorite pasta loving guy is back and fatter, I mean, thinner than ever. But it’s not the Goomba smashing action like previous games. Paper Mario is the sequel to the SNES hit, Super Mario RPG: Legend of...
Pros: Easy to learn fighting system, helper characters, nice graphics Cons: Too short, not enough challenge to fights
This is probably the only role-playing game I have played in which I found myself immediately comfortable with the fighting and menu system, and which required absolutely no learning curve. Yet it was still undoubtedly a game that I would consider an ...
Pros: Fun battles; unique mix of platformer and RPG. Cons: Story weak for being an RPG; not worth playing through twice.
Finally, Nintendo has brought us Paper Mario, the long-awaited pseudo-sequel to Super Mario RPG for the SNES. Paper Mario nicely fills the RPG void on the N64, previously uninhabited save for the almost universally hated Quest 64 and the strategy/RPG...
Pros: Great graphics, supplies a variety of tasks to complete Cons: Complex controls, plot lacks depth, "repetitive gameplay"
I'd like to start off by saying that when playing an RPG I look for: quality of graphics, quality of soundtrack, plot depth, quality of plot, controls, bonuses and variety- concerning gameplay, scenery, and characters. I will organize this review by...
Pros: Great gameplay, unique "paper thin" graphics, nice music and sound effects, fun and engaging Cons: Flat characters look strange, only two members can enter into battle, steals from other games
What's that you say? A unique and fun concept from Nintendo? Yes, this game proves it is possible and pulls it off in such a way that fans of any genre should be able to enjoy. While it does borrow liberally from EarthBound, Zelda, Kirby...
Pros: Excellent,light hearted, and lovable. Just entertaining to play. Simply put: Nostalgia Cons: Somewhat short compared to other RPG's. Little reply value.
Paper Mario was a highly anticipated game by Nintendo fans, and all that anticipation was well justified. Paper Mario is a simple and fun role playing game and brings a little more life into the N64 game line up. The game has great humor, wonderfully...
Pros: The luring gameplay keeps you playing on, intuitive 2-D blended 3-D visuals Cons: Shallow or rather "thin" storyline, some minor pixelation problems
As everyone remembers Super Nintendo's last "big" game before the Nintendo 64 was introduced to the adoring public, Super Mario RPG by Nintendo and developed by Square, was a gaming experience that brought Mario to a new level of gaming before his real...
Pros: Smooth gameplay, good controls, fun RPG Cons: Can be tiresome in parts, such as when powering up
I've been a fan of Super Mario and Legend of Zelda on the various Nintendo systems since the beginning, and even though I can't say each game was an improvement over the previous one (in gameplay, not graphics), I can say that I enjoyed every one. Paper...
