Thanks to @hotsubsandwich, @shazzbaa, and @Sieza for the recommendation! Keep on gaming, and keep those recommendations coming!
Do you know the saying, “the whole world’s a stage”? Well, in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, it actually is. Roam the world with your ragtag team of misfit monsters to save peach from an ancient evil and also a modern one, in a carefully-crafted RPG adventure that doesn’t mind doing a silly dance once in a while.
–Verdict–
Art: 2D characters on a 3D plane, filled with bright colors, crisp animations, and a hilarious script to boot. Nintendo builds an excellent world, where even the background characters have impact on your battles (more on that later).
Gameplay: This is your standard turn-based combat system, with one exception – the battle takes place in a theater, on a stage. Your performance against the enemy can either excite or bore the audience, and their reactions will either provide you Star Power for battle-ending attacks, useful items, or things like a shoe to the face. Time you and your partner’s attacks and defenses well and you’ll end up on top – as long as you please the crowd, that is.
Replayability: I’d have to wait a long while to play this game again, considering that I now know the story. Maybe after I’ve played a few other RPGs I’ll go to this one again, but I think that there are enough games on my platter to keep me occupied for a while.
Would I recommend? If you want to play a solid RPG that never takes itself too seriously, I’d highly recommend this game. It’s easy to pick up, tough to master, and keeps you laughing on the way.
