Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

[A Black Falcon]

It was $20 new at EB, so I got it... initial impressions say that it's good, but perhaps not as good as Paper Mario for N64 (for one thing, it's like 'more of the same', which usually isn't as good as 'unique'...). But still, definitely fun.

Further impressions say: Good sense of humor, just like the first game. Great graphical style, like the first (though more clarity and smoothness on sprite edges and stuff). Good gameplay, just like the first. Essentially, it's "Paper Mario, etc"... which is great, because Paper Mario was a fantastic game, but it's not exactly innovative. Oh well... not every game has to be innovative, I know.

I do wonder about things like keeping the warp pipes having six sides, though... the main way it shows the power of the GC is the scenes with masses of enemies. Those are cool though... :)
