Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - MY FAVORITE GAME OUT OF MY OTHER 30 GAMES!!
I have 30 games. Paper mario is my favorite. It is hard and challenging for older players yet fun and easy for younger players. Bowser isn't evil this time. Or good. The X-nauts have captured the princess. Bowser gets angry because that's HIS thing. Mario has to stop the X-nauts from taking over the world. Lots of side quests like star peices, trouble center, and pit of 100 trials in case you beat the game. It took me 2 years to beat this.

Music 10/10
Graphics 10/10 (may not appeal to the older players)
Addictive Level 10/10 (be careful)
Replay Value 6/10 (unless your doing a speed run)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very successful gift
I gave this game as a Christmas gift. The recipient has played it morning, noon, and night since then. I am very satisfied with the product, the service and the cost of the game.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A fun RPG that breaks the traditional mold
I'll keep it simple and short. Paper Mario is a lot of fun when it comes to being a video game. However, as a true RPG, it suffers a little because of the lack of a truly strong and engaging story line. Mario is once again looking for stars (a la Mario RPG for SNES) only this time, they're crystal ones, and yes, Peach has been stolen AGAIN.These repetitive storylines make the player not care about the story as much as they should, considering the game's RPG classification.

All story complaints aside, the game itself is a lot of fun. The battle system is similar to that of the one found in Mario RPG, and the fun, quirky visual styles allow for interesting gameplay when not in a battle. The saving grace of this game is that the developers did a good job of creating engaging areas to explore and puzzles to solve, while building in that uniques humor found only in a Mario franchise title.

If you like Mario and don't take yourself too seriously, Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door is worth picking up, especially since it is a Player's Choice Title now.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Definite classic!
I bought this remembering Paper Mario for the N64. It's so much better than its predecessor. The graphics are outstanding, the music is great, and the written dialogue has a definite American style and flair.
The gameplay changes enough to keep it interesting, but it is a very long game.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than the original
The Paper Mario games are by far the highlights of the series. This game lives up to that reputation in an incredible, funny, and story rich adventure. The game opens up in typical Mario fashion in which Peach comes across a magical treasure map, a map that can lead to a treasure rumored to be under the ruins of an ancient civilization that lay beneath a town named Rougeport. She sends the map to Mario and he goes to Rougeport in hopes of helping her find the treasure. She has gone missing and a criminal organization called the X-Nauts appears and they seem to have big plans that involve gaining control of the map and the treasure. They have begun to seize control of parts of the lands, trapping the inhabitants, and searching for artifacts known as Crystal Stars so they can gain control of their power and use it to unlock the Thousand Year door and uncover the Treasure. But what are the treasure and the Crystal Stars? That opens up into a huge story that players will gradually learn as the game progresses.

The leader of this organization is Grodus who makes an excellent new villain; it's a nice break from Bowser. Without giving the story away, I will say that it along with the game itself is much more darker and involved than the first game. Though the game itself is not dark, it is in comparison to some of the other games much more darker. The game starts up with a seemingly simple plot that turns into a very complex and satisfying story. There are also many subplots in each episode of the game, which are great on their own and also tie into the main story in some way.

The characters, especially Mario's partners, are much more alive and interactive. Every character has unique personality that comes to life through the dialogue. Each character's dialogue has such a unique feel to it that you'll fell as if they are really talking. Even Mario is more alive, though he has no actual lines of dialogue; he makes faces and noises that speak for themselves. Now the graphics are incredible and very satisfying to look at, they're enough motivation to play the game just to see what new sights are comprised in the game. The best thing is that each chapter explores a region that is completely different than the previous one, and has it's own theme and story. This gives the game new and original experiences in every chapter.

And what would be a Mario game without Bowser? Though not the main villain he still serves as a villain and he is playable in intervening parts in which Mario completes a portion of his quest. The cut scenes with Bowser are hilarious and contain alot of in jokes that even adults will laugh at. Peach will also be playable as you control her in the X-Naut fortress, the organization that kidnapped her, and here you will learn alot of Grodus's plans and the overall storyline.

The battles system in fun and easy to learn. There is always something fun to do on screen and something good to look at. Now for those who believe that every game has faults. Here are some possible faults. There is alot of dialogue. This game has a very complex story and that requires lots of dialogue, but it's so interesting you might not notice it. Some scenes however, especially the first few, can be very long and tedious for those who just want to jump in and get into it. But, I will say that it is worth waiting through the scenes as the action after that is just plain fun. Saving can be a hazard as the only way to save is to find save blocks and use them to save. They are times where you're engrossed in the game you forget to puncha save block. Then you face an enemy who is difficult to beat and then beats you, you go back to the title screen and have to start from the last save block. That is VERY annoying so remember to save no matter what.

Well, Paper Mario; The Thousand Year Door is an incredible game. It has great graphics and settings, interactive and funny characters, a complex and involved storyline, humorous cuteness, and of course tons of Mario elements and humor. Still reading well stop, get in the car, and get this game.
