Paper Mario was pretty crappy. There was so much boring, useless shit packed into the game. There were some fun moments but it wasn't worth playing.
Paper Mario 2 is almost the opposite. One of the best games I've played this generation.

It's flawlessly boring. Fantastically safe. Uninterestingly fun.
Paper Mario 2 is like the demo version of the best RPG ever, or the best SNES RPG ever, whichever you like.
To put it simply, there's nothing wrong with it. But it's not as though the developers went above and beyond with anything but the character art and a few select backdrops.

the puns and classic references and stuff are just awesome in the game. Very common, too, but they never get old.
The first pun you encounter is like on the 3rd character away from the dock in Rogueport at the beginning of the game. "I wouldn't try to save her [Goombella] even if I had an extra life"

Oh comeon they went above and beyond with a lot. The humor, the countless memorable encounters and settings, the "staged" battles, everything. The battle system is fantastic. How they can balance it this good while only using really small numbers is quite an accomplishment I would think.Speevy said:
I hate Paper Mario, and don't hate but didn't enjoy PM2 very much...
I loved SMRPG. LOVED.
Paper Mario was just way too shallow. Usually Nintendo games are rather simple but deep, like Smash Bros. That's what gives them their charm.
But Paper Mario...I made it to the pyramid place and just quit playing it, I realised I was only playing it because for the sake of playing it, and I wasn't having fun at all anymore
PM2, I played further, I got all the stars except one. Battles are fun, but the pacing of the game was way too slow.
I'm surprised more people don't feel the same way as I do :lol

PM2 had lots of good ideas and some really memorable sections, but as a whole it was a very flawed game that just wasn't as good as PM or SMRPG. Too much backtracking and being too easy were the main culprits that hurt it, whereas the dialogue was funny and the battle system was great. Graphics were top-notch as well. But oh man the backtracking was the worse than any other rpg I've ever played. Could've been an A-level game without it, but as it stands I'd say it's B-ish.

I thought both games were enjoyable. Along with Mario and Luigi.
