I had some issues with certain content in the end.  The whole demonic possession is what bothered me deeply.

I still have not beaten super paper mario :(

That seriously affected you? It's a game. It doesn't have a message; it's there purely to entertain.

The problem I have with voice work is that it never gets localised to Europe and I don't like the American accent (no offence, it just don't like the sound). So any game with voice acting I tend not to like (e.g. contributed to my dislike of Metroid Prime 3).

^^ he's majoring in bible studied I believe so i suppose it throw him off.

Yeah the writing in the PM games is awesome!

That reminds me, I still need to finish TTYD. I started that game some years ago and played it through almost to the end, but for some reason never finished it... :s

You should put in the disclaimer that you don't own any RPGs on the Playstation or Playstation 2 outside of FF7.

Oh I'm sorry, that destroys your credibility doesn't it?  Oops.

Ah. Religion.

Yea, Paper Mario series has some of the best writing I've experienced in video games.

Hmmm, that platforming crap was better than the old gameplay style if you want my opinion. At least you don't have to enter into battles just to get 1 exp everytime against low enemies! You jump on enemies, it's done, you continue the story without interruptions, funny times. Also, you need skills, unlike a certain trick you can do in TTYD with critical hit badges and dropping your life to the lowest possible that allows you to complete the game with no difficulty at all (once you find it, you think you're god or something!)...!

The only complaint I have about SPM is that it was too short. Other than that, it was another brilliant game in the Paper Mario series.

I've actually played quite a few which aren't in my profile, but I guess it's time for me to stop pretending to be the ultimate authority on RPGs.

Wait, I never did that. What crawled up your ass and died?
