Finally

So this week I started playing the game Super Paper Mario. This is a game that i have been waiting to play for about a year. Its part of a series (if you can call it that) of Mario games that are all role playing games more than platformers like a normal mario game. It started with Mario and the legend of the seven stars on the super nintendo and has had games on nintendo 64 gamecube gameboy advance and ds and now its on the wii. This game is kind of revolutionary though because it combines the RPG elements in the other games with the platform elements in the original mario games. It also takes the sidescroll elements from the other paper mario games and adds an element of 3D where you can move the camera around mario and see things that you wouldn't normally be able to see (very cool). I just started it on friday and beat the first world today so I'm not that far into it, but so far there is a lot of potential for an awesome game. In the game it starts out with Bowser kidnapping the princess and trying to marry her when someone pops out of another dimension and kidnaps the whole lot of them including Luigi and Bowsers whole army of Minions. The only only left behind is Mario who sets off on an adventure to rescue the princess and Luigi. Shortway in on his quest mario finds out that he is actually the legendary hero who was predestined hundreds of years ago to save a bunch of worlds in a bunch of different directions. One of my favorite parts of the game as with all Mario RPG's is the humor. In this game they take a lot of things from classic RPG's to kind of poke fun at them like the intense dialog and things like that. I find it very humorous. It's a great game so far and I'm excited to see how it ends up being the more I get into it.
