Default Paper Mario Poll

//

Sorry if this has been asked numerous times but...

Which is the better out of "Paper Mario" and "...The Thousand Year Door"?

I'd like to try one of the instalments in this series and was going to get
"The Thousand Year Door" but the price has gone up recently (as with
mario sunshine... because of galaxy, perhaps?) to about £16 for a
second hand copy. So now I'm thinking of whether to save and get
the N64 release on VC.

-m.

I've only played the first one, and it's really a fantastic RPG. Get it now!

I'd say Paper Mario is much better than Thousand Year Door. The GC game is definately the most uninspired of the bunch, Super Paper Mario is better but not really much of improvement over Paper Mario except for a little more humour and the obvious visual/audio aspects.

N64.

TTYD just felt lacking in a way.

N64 is a bit easy though. Still great fun all the same.

Oh, and stay the hell away from Super *shudders*

The one thing I hate about Super Paper Mario is that it gets very boring once you get past the first four chapters. I only made it past chapter 5 then just couldn't be bothered.

Paper Mario is easy, but seems to be a lot of fun - something that both the GC and Wii sequels seem to struggle with.

Bingo.

I also didn't like the new style of play. 2D Platform Mario, with RPG elements and lame puzzles that all require you to pres "A" in order to beat them.

Super paper mario is more of one of those games that are fast to beat but hard to do everything. Also super has the best stroy but out of the first 2 I'd say TYD is just a little better. Its harder improved and the story is deeper and darker but really you can't just get one and not the other. But if you don't want to pay too much for TYD get the first one

I'd agree. TTYD is harder and improved upon PM is almost everyway. But it just doesn't have the thing. The thing that PM has that hooks you, everytime you beat it.

Currently replaying PM and I'm as hooked as I was the first time I done it.
