After beating Metroid Prime 1 and 100%ing Metroid Prime 2, I decided to trade them in and see if I could get a game I haven't already played and that would take more than a few hours to get through.
My sister wouldn't stop bugging me and asking me to get My Sims, but eventually I decided to get Paper Mario 2(although I still have to beat Bowser in PM1), and I think it was a good deal.
So far, after having had completed a chapter, the game seems a whole lot more complicated than the first, even if most of the controls are the same and there's still the basic plot of gathering seven mystic objects and pwning someone at the end.
Really, though, the crowd seems to add a little depth I suppose, and the idea of your partner having seperate HP was good. And some of the mini-games involved in the attacks I feel are a bit better. Plus, a lot of the puzzles are neat and require much more thought than those in the recent Zelda games(or pretty much any Zelda game after the Oracles or MM, and OoT is pretty easy, too).
As much as I loved the art style in the first Paper Mario, PM2 simply pwns it. Rogueport seems a lot cooler than Toadtown, the underground city isn't too bad, etc. But my favorite has to be the Boggy Forest, even if it does seem like sort of a recolor of rwo of the levels from the first Paper Mario. I also love how the special effects usually play off of the idea that the world is made of paper.
I don't really care for the music, though. It's not bad, but it's nothing special.
Overall I think I like it better than the first, although the bosses so far have seemed easier than in PM1. And does it mean I'm going too fast if I already got through a chapter at nearly six hours?
And finally, what do you think of the game.
Other things not of much importance: I got to play a little bit of Phantom Hourglass, but it's nothing *really* new. >.>...<.<...
And supposedly I might be able to get MP3 as an early birthday gift, unless it's worth it to get Super Paper Mario with having already spoiled the story for myself.
