Super Paper Mario - Wii from Argos
A little overpriced, but still a lot of fun. Mario and (mainly) friends jump around collecting coins as usual, this time on a quest to collect pure hearts and hopefully reverse Bowser and Peach's forced wedding. The big feature here is that for a few seconds at a time, the lead character can switch into a (fairly rudimentary) 3D view, necessary to solve some problems, meet other characters and so on. There's a reasonable (and sometimes even funny) story behind it all, a certain amount of adventuring required beyond a straight platform game, and sufficient level variety to keep interest through the game.
Good points:
  • Simple graphics actually work rather well, especially the 2D view
  • Healthily warped humour in the back story
  • Surprising variety in the levels and tasks
Bad points:
  • 3D is rather lacklustre, would be better first-person
  • Some of the cut scenes and dialogue get tedious
  • Wii remote usage is occasionally a bit contrived
