i have to start off this review by saying this game is INCONCEIVABLY GAY. yes im serious. this is THE WORST RPG IVE PLAYED IN MY LIFE. i cant believe i actually spent time playing this. ill start off from what i can bring up the top of the head difficult and length: this game is SO EASY and SO SHORT! this game took me, literally, 8:32 TO BEAT MY FIRST TIME THROUGH WITH NO GUIDES AND I BEAT IT AT LEVEL 11 an rpg that costs 50$ that is less than 9 hours long and can be beaten at around level 10? is this made for 8 year olds or what? fun factor: this game is so not fun, i had to FORCE MYSELF TO PLAY IT. those 8 hours and 32 minutes were the most excruiciating moments of my gaming life. i normally like short games because to me the shorter the game the better the replay value, but 8 hours for a rpg first time through no guide is way to short even for me. the fighting system: 2 characters? so lame. you get to play with 2 characters on a flat playing field which doesnt impress me at all. the gameplay is boring, the navigation is boring, everything about this game is just BORING. i dont know whats up with nintendo lately. i only liked 3 games from nintendo for gamecube and that was mario sunshine, mario kart, and super smash melee. nintendo used to kick ass in the past but now they are getting lazy or something. i hope they get some more original ideas. 4/10 for paper mario |

Although I respect your oppinion, I have to completely disagree. I thought the game was hilarious. The iteraction between Mario and Luigi was funny as hell. The way was his experiences parallel Mario's. I thought the game play was terrific. The different abilities that Mario gains throughout the game was a breath of fresh air. The Paper Airplane, Boat and rolled Paper Roll were unique and interesting to use. One of the best and funniest scenes in the game is when the dragon makes a deal with Mario to spare him and then breaks their agreement and goes into the audience and eats the crowd. I think the writers of this game should be commended. To translate a game to english is usually done with the qualities of a butcher, but these guys put together an A+ whimsical story, that is chock full of laughs. Its definitely not for action oriented personalities. This game is like opening a story book and watching it come to life. If you are not a fan of Nintendo characters you probably won't like or pick up on the humor, but if you are you will enjoy the world created and brought to life by some of the best in the business. The game garnered incredible scores by EGM, Gamespot and IGN and was given the award for best RPG by...I think it was gamespot. Story. 10 Graphics. 8 Gameplay. 8 Originality 10 Over-all score 9 Just my oppinion. Anyone else have a take on this game? |

I Gotta Agree wit Eugene, this game does blow... Even i couldnt get into it... and im usually a big Mario Fan... Juss cuhz you like action games doesnt mean you'll hate RPGs... I mean Eugene thought Luigi's Mansion was kew... I thought Luigi's Mansion was tyte also... I mean i love Metal Gear but does that make me hate all the other games or genres???? *** This game had sum funni moments thought like how Bowser was always steps behind and i love the mini game Super Bowser World... That was genious |

Larry is right. The game took me about 26 hours and I was in at least level 26. Some of the areas you can't get past in level 10. I respect your opinion of it being gay but I think you are lying about your time and level. |

Trust me he's not lying about the hours and game. Him and Kenny are both really good gamers... But as for this game, I liked it, and I am like the opposite of an RPG fan. I hate RPGs. They're slow, tactical, and bore the hell out of me, unless it's real time, like the FMA game or KOTOR. Anyway, this game was probably picked up by me because it had Mario in it, but I did really like the game. It got very annoying to beat at some parts because I had to go back and forth at ridiculous lengths so many times...but that didn't ruin the game for me. It took me twenty something hours to beat and I was like level 28 or so. Pretty fun game if you ask me. It got hilarious at times too, especially with the bosses and other characters, like Bowser. Bowser was just the comic relief guy in this one XP |

I am not calling Kenny and Eugene liars, but I did put an offer on the table for either one of them. Come to my house, start the game from the beggining and beat it at under level 14 and in under 10 hours. If that is accomplished I will pay $100.00 to Kenny or Eugene. I know for a fact that the game can not be beat at level 14 and I highly doubt that the game progresses at a rate that will allow you to beat it in 9 hours. If you break the game down by chapters, their are some chapters that have so much back tracking and side quests that you have to do that they literally take a couple of hours to complete. The Glitz Pit, The Pirate Island, The Train, The Tree and the Space Station all take at least over 1 1/2 hours to complete. Thats 7+ hours and thats only half of it. I have read every review imaginable on this game and the general consensus was the game is long! Being a good gamer has nothing to do with beating this game in record time. It is a slow and long evolving process. That I found extremely ejoyable. If you don't like it? Fine. Call it gay. Great! Makes no difference to me. Tell me you finished at level 10 in 9 hours. I will pay you to show me. $100.00 to Eugen or Kenny. |

Why am i involved??? i never played this gay ass game... i juss sed i saw eugene beat 3 chapters in 2 hours... thaz all i remember... and us about being good gamers iz false... im naht good at zelda, cuhz i refuse to play it now... im naht good at metroid prime, same reason im naht good at DMC3 compared to Eugene.... iz juss natural talents... like i lack at fighting games, but i excel at Tactics, RPGs, Patience... but i can guaran - damn - tee you guyz that eugene and i beat RE4 in 2 hours knife run and naht sustain dmg... We even beat Assignment Ada in 9 minutes man and took no dmg... Side Note: Larry isnt a believer... i mean he didnt believe me i beat Symphony of the Night in 15 minutes wit Richter... i proved it to many people already even Vin and Larry will still be an unbeliever... I mean i'll bet you he'll beat Zelda Ocarina of Time in 6 hours one day and still wont believe it cuhz he's that damn gay.... Juss cuhz you cant do it doesnt mean others cannot... Another thing iz that this is the same Larry that told me Dave beat RE4 in Pro Mode and beat Mercenaries... i mean iz Dave man.... He cant even play his favorite game Halo... And i even got proof from Randy that Dave died 150 times in Normal Mode in RE4... i mean CMON NOW !!! And why does it bother you ne wayz Larry??? I mean iz juss a sense of accomplishment for others to do better than others.... i mean you did better than us in Metroid, do we complain? NO... becuz we realli dont care waht you accomplished... I mean sum guy beat my time in MGS3 wit a time for 1 hour and 34 minutes... and i did it in 2 hours... but did i complain no, it juss meant that i should do better or he's juss a better player than me at this game.... But im naht saying if Eugene did it 100% or naht but i did see him beat 3 chapters in like 2 hours... thaz all im seying... and im nah instigating seying that i can beat this game in 10 hours and under cuhz i realli dont wanna play this gay ass game.... |

Dude take pill or something. It's not always the world VS. Kenny. As a matter of fact it is getting old. You are just a negative trouble maker at best. Yes you told me in your exact words that you saw Eugene beat the game at the level and time he stated. I never questioned your SOTN talents. I've never questioned anything you have ever told me regarding video games except for God of War and I told you I stand corrected. Don't use my board to vent your emotional frustrations. I'm tired of your act. Got it! Your goofy slang and bull @%$! ain't cool. If you want respect, earn it. Dave offered you a bounty to beat Halo 2 in Legendary without dying. You guys said you could do it, but couldn't man up when given the chance. If your gonna talk the talk, try walkin the walk. It goes with the territory. |

Dave didnt tell us S&*#, so iono wtf you talkin about... And this wasnt bout me... i was wonderin why people mention my name for no reason like you putting 100 bux down if me or eugene can beat it... why does it hafta be me in it... and ive told you several times that this game was gay... And yes you did question my SOTN talents once and you kept seying iz impossible so i was like F*$% it, you wont believe ne thing... and im seying things cuhz you chooose naht to believe ne thing... all i know iz that i saw eugene beat 3 chapters in 2 hours when he played it over... so iz realli naht that hard to believe... about the level thing i realli wouldnt know cuhz there are many rpgs that allow being lvl 10 and beat the game at that lvl, i can give many examples but im too lazy to list em.. I beat Chrono Trigger at lvl 5 and i'll prove it to all if i hafta... becuhz they give you a secret ending if you do... but i think iz impossible to do wit without New Game +. Theres also Tales of Symphonia - My friend beat it in 15 hours at level 30 each character... Theres also La Pucelle beat that also at lvl 15 on all characters but wit beefed up weapons... So watever eugene seys i realli dont care, but i also do believe that iz possible to beat Paper Mario 2 at lvl 10 under 10 hours... Side Note : This is an opinion... and 2ndly you were the one that told me to post s*%@ on this forum... if you dont want me postin s*#$ ne more then juss sey it... that simple... im tryin to give my view on things and if you dont like it then fine i'll leave... |

i never beat the glitz pit, i dont know why you think that. i told you i beat the game in that time, i never said i completed 100%. i just went straight through the game doing only what needed to be done. the peach scenes didnt take long, it usually consisted of moving back and forth. and the levels werent that long, pirate grotto probably took me around 40 minutes. and the glitzville of glitch and glory arena matches probably took me about an hour. |
