that's not true, the graphic advances, the new charecters, the microphone functionality, and don't forget the wii remote functionality, those were all new things.

Graphic changes and new characters don't innovate the gameplay whatsoever, Wii remote functionality doesn't either as it's just them moving from one controller to the next. It's like saying that use of the gamecube controllers was an innovation. I'll give you the microphone thing, but it was barely used and when it was, half the time it couldn't understand my words.

And collecting little nic nacs that do absolutely nothing is not innovative enough to keep me hooked.

I never really thought about which course was my favorite, I suppose I'd pick Tall Tall Mountain,

I personally hate forums with image sigs. It takes way too long to scroll down the page and it's distracting.

That's the purpose of size limits. :\

I thought it was bundled with Animal Crossing?

Nope, which is good because if it was bundled with it, it would probably mean that Nintendo only intended to make use of it in that game.

Ah yes, I do agree that the attacks were recycled way too much among the enemies. IMO, Jonny and Smithy were more challenging than Yaridovich, (Although after I beat the game for the first time they all became pretty easy) Surprisingly, I didn't find Culex to be all that challenging.

Oh, and I also know that you weren't trying to fault me.

Just a question, but in your opinion, what makes the original PM better than TTYD? I'm not trying to degrade your opinion, but f you ask me, TTYD improved upon almost every aspect of the original: new, crisper graphics style, original and more epic plot, new major villain, slightly more mature content, etc. I finished PM1 and I'm currently playing TTYD again, and it's as amazing an experience as ever.

Don't get me wrong, I still loved The Thousand Year Door, I just found it lacking innovation. The Mario RPG's have tended to build upon what was used in the previous Mario RPG's, but The Thousand Year Door pretty much just recycled most of the things used in the first Paper Mario. Goombella=Goombario, Koops=Kooper, Bobbery=Bombette, Vivian=Bow, boat transformation=Sushi, etc etc. The hammer upgrades were just the same ones from the first game only they took longer to execute. The Thousand Year Door definately has some areas in which it's better than the first, like the deeper storyline, it was more challenging, there were more sidequests and areas to explore and such. But overall I just found the first Paper Mario more enjoyable.

It looks pretty good, if you ask me. I hope for more things to do in this one so that it won't become boring and repetitive like the first two.

It's about time they made Wii Speak. Only problem with it is that Everyone in the same room can speak through it. Atleast it doesn't come bundled with Animal Crossing so it'll hopefully be used in future games,

I do not like them.  The moderators agree.  Therefore they are banned.

I'm having a hard time believing that. :\

RPGs don't need to have puzzles.

No one said they did, but puzzles can make the game more fun.

The Mario Party franchise needs to slow down. They need to take more time and put thought into improving and innovating the series. Honestly, it's just been the same old stuff since it started. Unless the next game has Wifi, I'm not going near it.

I realize that you never said how far you got into the game, hence why I said "Depending how far you got in the game..."

And yes, this is all a matter of opinion, I realize that. I never compared it to Paper Mario, another game I think is great. I don't really see how all the enemies are the same, they did pretty much just recycle a few enemies from early in the game and slapped them into the later levels, but pretty much every Mario game has done that.

I actually prefer the first Paper Mario as opposed to The Thousand Year Door, but the second one definately upped the challenge level, but pretty much all of the Mario RPG's have been using the same plot over and over again but altering it slightly. The plotline in Thousand Year Door is deeper, but it's not much different from Super Mario RPG and the first Paper Mario.

I'm not sure how this Shadow discussion started, but I personally think Shadow was cool in Sonic Adventure 2, but then just lost it all after Shadow the Hedgehog was made.

If your looking for some exaggerated female fighters, play the Dead or Alive fighting games.

Lol, Dead or Alive is where boob jokes are born.

Hmm, Top Gun 2 for the NES was pretty bad. And yes, I actually had it up until a few months ago when I sold it. I didn't just take it from the Angry Video Game Nerd.

I love to play Pokemon. (The anime was ruined) I don't think I could be called a "Master," though, I kinda suck. I can breeze through the games easily, but when I face other people I always seem to get my butt kicked.

It was okay, but it gets kind of old. It'd be better if it had wifi, though I'd prefer a co op mode.

Basically all you do is fight a ton of enemies that are all the same

 (note - I haven't actually played the whole game - it got too boring too quickly).

The second line explains why you shouldn't make a statement like that first one. Depending on how far it was you got in the game, you can't really say that. The enemies do infact change from area to area.

Anyhoo, I don't find the game overrated at all. The gameplay was fun and innovative, the story was good, and the characters were lovable. It's my favorite game of all time.
