Metareview: Super Paper Mario

via wiifanboy

It's a game we've all been dying to get our hands on. For months we sat and waited, tears effortlessly streaming from our eyes, on down our cheek and finally making their way to the moist rug below. Finally, though, we are given respite as today we see Super Paper Mario ship off to retail.

We already know we're picking it up and we're fairly certain you will be picking it up, so what else is there left to say?

Well, apparently the critics have something to say. Let's see what that is:

IGN (89/100) has some good things to say about the control: "It controls tightly and uses the Wii remote in a smart manner without stepping into forced territory. The new 2D-to-3D dynamic is built around clever and surprisingly complex puzzles that will challenge and impress you. And it all comes together to make Super Paper Mario a highly enjoyable title, whether you want to call it a platformer, an RPG, or something in-between."
AMN (88/100) says the game is a bit easy, but still good "While the game is overly easy at times and some of the level design isn't as likable or memorable as past Paper Marios, we absolutely recommend Super Paper Mario. It's a great Wii game that just about anybody can enjoy."
1UP (80/100) thinks it's not all that we were expecting: "While it's far from the platforming/role-playing godsend that some Nintendo fans expected, Super Paper Mario still qualifies as a must-play for any Wii owner. It's creative, fun, and perhaps most importantly, funny."
