Likes and Dislikes (Some possible spoilers)

The new installment in the series has just been released , with a number of added features.

-Well, the biggest one would have to be that you can Flip from 2-d to 3-D. I found this to be pretty cool, but I dont really like the fact that once the bar runs out you lose health.

-Pixls. The little icons that follow you and help perform various tasks. I found these to be pretty cool as well, but I did enjoy having characters following you around.

-Rpg system gone. I'm kinda mixed on this one. I liked how the turn based system made it different from the other mario games out there, but it's nice to just jump on a goomba again.

What's your take on all the new stuff in the game?

I don't actually own a Wii, or Super Paper Mario, but judging by the things you pointed out the game is a huge step up from the other Paper Mario games.

The 2D to 3D switching option sounds a bit tough to get used to, but very helpful for certain areas of gameplay.

The pixels sound pretty cute, and a nice way to tie in the 'Paper'/computer graphics scheme.

The RPG system? Gone?.. I'm with you on that one, mixed feelings. I will miss the system for bigger battles, but I won't miss having an entire RPG battle for a one or two hit kill with a Goomba.

Pros:

-Beautiful world, with small graphical imperfections
-Side-splittingly hilarious dilalog
-Awesome, dynamic characters
-Creative gameplay that doesn't stray too far from the "Paper Marioness"

Cons

-IGN said this, and I agree. The 3D world is strangely bland and somewhat ugly
-No matter how hilarious the dilalog is, there is almost a little too much of it. The same goes for The Thousand Year Door.

I'll hopefully get to play it more next week and give you greater insight on how I feel about it.
