Probably the Best RPG for the Cube

I first played this at my friend's house in Calif., and this game rocked my face right off! I loved this game so much, I wanted it for Christmas more than 2 years after its release. I'm actually starting to track down the original N64 Paper Mario. I think I'll have fun with that game, too.

Great Mario RPG

The sequel to the N64 hit, this one improves just about anything the first one did. The battle system remains untouched from the N64 version but it has gotten a little upgrades to it. The crowd during the fights is important. Impress them and you'll get star power to pull off impressive moves. If you dont entertain them, they will leave and you wont have anything to give you star power. The audience during the fights can throw helpful and harmful stuff at you. When exploring during the overworld, there are platforms that require you to transform into a specific paper thing ex. transforming into a paper airplane in the airplane platform. There are more powers that you can find. Overall its pretty lengthy and is hillarious. This one isnt expensive at all so give it a try.

RPG, with a twist of Mario!

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door is a great game. It has a great Mario story, but a little different than usual. They graphics are enchanting, as well as the places that Mario must adventure to. The paper aspect makes the graphics not the best, though. But what really shines here is the gameplay. Battles are RPG style, with Mario and his 'teammate' picking from special and regular attacks to fight enemies. But with additions like button-timing attack increasers, audience reactions, and unique attack management, Paper Mario becomes an original experience. Also, paper mechanics when traversing the world adds to the fun, Like with many games, I have this one complaint. It is too short. Mario games and RPGs should be lengthy, so a short combination is dissapointing. Don't let this deter you, though. The Thousand Year door is a throughly wonderful gaming experience.

Who would've imagined, another Paper Mario

Mario is in everything nowadays and this time he has made a return in paper form. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the third RPG in the mario series has mario teaming up with a host of new characters, like Koops, Goombella, Vivian, and many more. each of them have their own special abilities to help mario in his quest to find the treasure and save the princess. The graphics are creatively well done, and gameplay is bound to give you endless hours of fun. The only thin negative about this game would have to be that only two characters are allowed on the field at one time, when traditionally in a RPG there is usually 3 or more.

Impressive RPG

Mario is back in yet another RPG and this time it's personal.. well then again isn't it always. In this game Mario has received a Treasure Map from Princess Peach that would eventually lead him to a great treasure. Unfortunatley because of this Princess Peach is yet again kidnapped by Lord Grodus, the leader of a band of soldiers called the X-nauts and of course Mario must save her. The gameplay is fun and easy to get into, not saying this game is a push over, it actually requires you to think and use your charcters wisely. My only concern about the game is it's amount of characters actually in battle. Traditionally a RPG has at least 3 characters on the front line ready to battle but this one only has two actually in battle.

What the heck is this?!

This game is terrible. I am a huge mario fan but this is a disgrace. It is not an RPG nor is it a good mario game. I don't know what they were trying to accomplish with this but it just didnt happen. This game has been out for a while and everyone seems to like it. So I rented it yesterday (so long 5 bucks) and man what the heck!!!

Mario All Cut Up

I was really anticipating this game since the first one was a masterpiece in my opinion. I really like the graphics of the Paper Mario games because they amuse me in a way none other games can. They are unique in there own little way. The start of the game is as predictable as ever. Princess Peach gets captured but not by Bowser but by a robot named Grodus ( FINALLY NOT BOWSER ). So you have to go on a quest to beat Grodus and the X-Nauts ( the group of evil that Grodus heads ) to the Thousand Year Door and save Princess Peach from him. The gameplay is similar to the old version but I like how they matured the levels. They aren't classic Mario worlds that you see in every Mario game. On one level you ride a train practically the whole time and on another you fight in a ring ( like wrestling ) till you get the belt and finish the level. I really enjoyed this game and I hope Nintendo will keep maturing these classic characters into something the 21st century likes and needs. Graphics..... 4.0 Sound..... 4.0 Control..... 4.5 Fun Factor..... 4.5

Don't call it RPG

I don't know what to say about this game. Let's start with the story; peach send a letter to mario with a map of a treasure called 1000-year door. After that she'll be kidnapped by someone, & mario start looking for both of them. don't forget bowser:) The game is so childish. Graphics: 5.0 creative Sound: 2.5 baaaaaaad music Control: 5.0 Funfactor: 3.0 almost boring
