Paper Mario

A unique looking game. That characters are all flat, where they are set in a 3D world. The same old storyline, with a few different elements and new characters introduced to the series. Mario has the standard jump attack to begin with and acquires hammer early in the game. Besides leveling up, Badges are will allow you to increase defense, attack, H.P. and F.P. however you want. So, you aren't running around with a ton of weaponry and armor. Some of the items for your health, attack and defense, can be used to make other items when you give them to Tayce T. to cook. There are star pieces to find, that can be traded for badges.

The boss battles can be challenging, if you haven't leveled up and stocked up with useful items. There really isn't anything to complain about, except that RPGs can get repetitive. The one thing that can really get annoying with this game, is the music. It has almost whine to it, that just gets on ones nerves the longer you play. Otherwise, this is a great game that anyone can pick up and play.
