Just like the game, our review comes to you a bit late, but here nonetheless. If you're a Wii owner and have been wondering whether or not to pick this up, AusGamers has the answer for you right here. For anyone who played the original games and is still undecided on a Wii purchase, this, in the face of other forthcoming hits, could be the first real reason to have a solid look at the console - between now and the end of the year the Wii has some stellar titles on offer, and it really all begins with Super Paper Mario, so head on into our review to see what we thought of the game.

I found Super Paper Mario to be very meh. I took it back and picked up Resident Evil 4 instead. Havn't looked back.

i really like mario paper.

im upto the 8th world atm and enjoying it thoroughly but i have always a fan of the mario series.

my girlfriend loves all the mario series, thats all the wii has been used for since its initial purchase

I really want to grab this game. I've played the previous iterations, and really enjoyed them.

my gf really likes mario paper too.

that is the best thing about the Wii, it has brought gaming to a wider audience

im finding the game insanely easy, which is disappointing

also, way too much text for me to keep skipping past;

Its probably the best game ive played on the Wii, I like it better than zelda, but mainly becuase im a bigger mario fan and like the cartoony graphics.

Ditto.

Speaking of cartoony graphics. i played TF2 for the first time last night. soo much fun.

The same rating as Halo 3 Steve? I don't know about that..

However you sure did convince me that this game is a good spend.

Great review as always!

Played through the first few levels of the game so far, quite enjoying it, this is the first Paper Mario game I've played. Only downside I've found so far to the game was the ridiculously long intro that you couldn't skip past.

Why wouldnt it be the same as halo3? Why is halo 3 on such a pedastal, Ive only played halo 1, it was ok, nothing outstanding.

Yeah, i think halo3 is all hype but i have never been into FPS games on console.

Yep...nothing special in my opinion (just finished chapter 3).

The RE4 Wii port kills this game.

Different types of games really, I can't rate Super Paper Mario lower than Halo 3 simply because it's not an FPS - rating games like this you have to think of where it stands in its genre, how it stacks up on the console overall and then think about where it stands among games overall

Yeah well said however you could also rate the enjoyment factor. You can enjoy a game more than another, doesn't matter what genre it is, it's what you like/enjoy more.

Paveway, suckup of the year.

i think that award is reserved for your mother bah

Too late, your name has already been engraved on the plaque.

They're completely different games

Sure, but at the end of the day they get an overall score.

...and RE4 whips Super Paper Mario in the graphics, music, re-playability and general fun departments. Just because it's an RPG doesn't make it untouchable?
