Story is a massive step down from TTYD, gameplay is structured/designed to be a 2D platformer w/ easy puzzles scattered about, there exist virtually no personality to the characters beyond a single-line description, etc. It feels Nintendo was trying to make the game as accessible as possible via dumbing down the story and puzzles, restricting gameplay to a 2D perspective, and dropping virtually all combat, and ended up stripping all RPG elements out of the game. Not sure if this “stripping all RPG elements” was intentional (iirc Miyamoto is not a big fan of the label “RPG,” is can be seen — for instance — in his dejection of labeling Zelda as an RPG, and his numerous remarks arguing for “gameplay over story”), but it makes for a complete mess. edit: i take back a lot of my harsh words. I’m starting to appreciate the game a lot more when not taking the story as seriously as TTYD. It’s a fine game! |
It's ok for what it is. Sticker Star and Color Splash are the real disasters in the Paper Mario series.
