Title: Super Paper Mario (Wii)
Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on April 30, 2007, 03:14:55 PM: Finally got round to playing some of this today and I just have a big smile on my face. The whole game is charming, had me laughing a few times through the dialogue and the art style is very cool.

I'm impressed by the way the flipping between 2d and 3d has been handled, I was expecting it to be unwieldly but it works very well and the whole control scheme just seems very well oiled.

I've only got to 1-4 so far, but hopefully the game will continue to be as good as this throughout, throughly impressed so far.

The 2d/3d thing is cool because in some sections, playing in 2D makes it look like you are unable to cross a chasm when flipping to 3D then reveals a bridge you can go across instead. The whole thing is done very well and works despite the reservations I had beforehand about this control scheme.

Sounds interesting. I might have to check this out.
