PAPER MARIO STICKER STAR REVIEW!

Kersti, your partner/helper

The story!:
This game begins with Mario, Peach and hundreds of toads celebrating a holiday called the Sticker Fest, that consists on a comet called the "Sticker Comet" and people making wishes so their wishes come true, when the comet falls Bowser tries to grab it which results in comet exploding in lots of stickers and 6 Royal Crowns, one of this crowns falls into Bowser and he transforms into Sticker Bowser, Mario tries to fight him but fails and everything gets wrecked, while investigating the wrecking Mario finds a Silver sticker crown called Kersti, she tells him that he needs to get the 5 royal Crowns to restore the Sticker Comet, the history is nice, not bad and the character of Kersti is not bad either.






The Gameplay!:

If you have played Paper Mario before, you should now how the gameplay works, well this game has a really diferent gameplay style, instead of leveling up and using special powers like the Crystal Stars or the Star Spirits, instead mario uses stickers to attack, this stickers come in a big variety, from Fire flowers to Special Hammer to even special jumps, the enemys you kill will give you money to buy stickers, back from the other Paper Mario games is the action commands, you can block an attack to reduce the damage or timing well your attacks to do extra damage.

This Paper Mario has something diferent, a level system and a world map, there is a main town in which you can buy stickrs and a diferent kind of sticker called Thing Stickers, these are really strong but you have to find them hidden between levels, you pick a level and you have to find a comet sticker thing, while searching it you have to fight enemies and resolve puzzles.

Its something really Diferent.

There are alternate exits in many levels and there are a total of 6 worlds, 5 of them being worlds in which you have to find the royal sticker and the last one being Bowser Castle/Land, at the end of each world you will find a boss wearing a Royal Sticker and you have to beat it.

A boss wearing a royal sticker.

But there are no partners in this game aside from Kersti which i dont count as a partner to begin with, many RPG elements are gone and the game is something diferent than the other paper mario games which doesnt make it bad but if you are playing this game for the RPG then you will be kinda dissapointed.









The Graphics!:

Doesnt he look amazing?

Now, let me get this out the way right now, this is the best looking Paper Mario game EVER, every background and sprite look amazing, the stickers look detailed and awesome, Mario looks overall better and i like all the sticker enemy designs, specially Sticker Bowser.




The detail is everywhere and it looks amazing, even for a 3DS game, you feel immersed in the paper mario world and thats an achievement, the 3D effect is ok but I personally dont use it that much.



The Music!:

While the music is not incredibly memorable, it is relaxing and quite nice to listen to, my favorite themes are the Delcalburg town and the boss fight themes are my favorite.


The Replay Value!:
There are quite some things to do after you finish the game and the game itself is replayable, not as much as the other ones but its still nice in terms of replayability.


Conclusion:
While is not as good as the other games and the RPG system is barebones, if you look at the game for itself and for the sticker system and the game in general, it deserves a shot.

                                                  7.5/10

               A 7 means the game is pretty good, while not perfect the game is still enjoyable.

See you later everyone!, planing to review something really special, next time. DK64!

Retro Review: Metal Slug X

Hey guys, its Dead-Pool here to bring you another retro-review, but this review is not like the others, this is about a PS1 game that starts in the classic game machines, with the classic controls, this game is called
METAL SLUG X!!!!!!!!
3
2
1
.
.
.
GO!!!!




The story!

In general this game got the same story as Metal Slug 2 because this version isa remake, SNK(metal slug developer) made Metal Slug X with more weapons, the story is about a man called General Morden, the antagonist from the first game is back once more with his army, decided on taking over the world AGAIN. It is up to the Peregrine Falcon squad who are joined by two new characters: Eri Kasamoto and Fiollina Germi of the Sparrows Inteligence Unit, to save the day.

The gameplay!

In Metal Slug X, the gameplay is like the old ones, a 2D game based in war aspects, this is like Contra too, but this game got new features because this is a remake of the second one. In this game, the player can turn fat in various areas of the fame, instead of just on mission 4. There is also a new enemy called Dog Mummy, as well as a few variations of the Mummy that appeared in Metal Slug 3. 
  The SV-001 got an upgraded version that is faster and can jump higher, and the Camel Slug"s   vulcan was slightly modified.

Character selection

In this game you can chosse between four awesome characters: Marco, Eri, Tarma and Fio. All are good options to play but i always use Tarma because for me is the coolest and his sunglasses are awesome. In general, all are the same but some of them got more speed, the story is the same for all characters.

THE CAMEL WINS

In the end of all levels there"s 1 boss, the first of all is like a big airplane called The Kessi. The Kessi is a VTOL gunship meant to provide close air support to ground troops. It"s equipped with anti-air guns on its wings and also can throw you bombs HEAVY BOMBS
but their lenght is enough to carry support tanks on them.

FINALLY, when you beat all the levels and you get to the final of the mission 6, you have to beat THE RUGNAME......

Is something above me......

He acts as the Martian Mothership from which troops are dispatched. Its very heavy armored, and far too large to destroy with regular weapons. The Rugname"s massive size makes he an easy target, all you need to do is aim upwards. Because the cannon will always hit the same spot, the larger the larger threat is unlimited horde of mini-UFO gunning you. After a very long time fighting that beast, a rebel in a Eaca-B will make a kamikaze attack into the core, making it retreat.




The graphics!

This has very good graphics compared to the old ones, the backgrounds and sprites look amazing and the bosses looks detailed For an old game, is very detailed, all look kinda realistic for a game in the PS1.







The music!

In this game the music cant be heared good because all you heard is the PIU PIU PIU of the weapons and explosions. But if you heard carefully you are going to heard a good war song that get you pumped.










The replay value!

You can do a lot of things after beating the game like collecting all the weapons and ride all vehicles that you want. This game is really fun and you can beat it a lot of times LIKE ME, i beat this game like 10 times and i never get bored.


Conclusion. If you got a PS1 and you want to play a game for long time, buy this game and get fun with it.

                                            

      7.5/10

A 7 means the game is pretty good, while not perfect the game is still enjoyable.

See you later in my next review, top ten or any idea came to my mind

Fact of the day #24

Example: Longshot in water temple
(Ocarina of time)

Hookshot in Swamp Palace
(A Link to the past)

Beginning with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, every hookshot in any Zelda game are associated with the water temple of each game.

Opinion: Are the 2D mario games too repetitive?

Hello everyone!, Peabody"s here and im bringing you my opinion on something that bugs, i"ve heard many people complain about how the 2D mario are starting to get repetitive in many ways, what do i think about this?, lets begin.

In terms of story i do have to admit the story it IS getting a bit repetitive, while i liked that the koopalings returned, it is getting old to see them in each new mario game, i think a new villain will actually be a pretty cool change of pace, also i"ll like to mention i think it was pretty cool how in New Super Mario Bros U you dont start at peach"s castle, a nice change.

We miss you...

Now in terms of powerups they have been introducing new ones like the Flying Raccoon suit but thinking about just makes me think, if they can return the Racoon suit like in NSMB2 why not return the Hammer Bros Suit or the Frog Suit?, either we need more of the old ones or just new ones!

This is originality!

And lastly in terms of world themes, while I will admit they have being recycling them, theres not that much option, but it will be nice to have a space level, a cyborg level, an natural level, there is variety you can use but its not that big.

Conclusion:
I think 2D mario is just fine right now, while changes may be welcome things are still ok right now.

Fact of the day #22

Isnt he cute?

Vic Viper.

In the japanese version of Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts you can create Konami characters like Vic Viper, Alucard from castlevania, Solid Snake and Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid, this is because Konami published the game in Japan.

Fact of the Day #21

In the 3D remake of Ocarina of time, In the Bombchu shop, in malon"s room and behind boxes in Gerudo"s Valley you can find posters of Skyward Sword which is nice considering the remake came out 6 months before Skyward Sword came out.

Impressions: Wii U

I think we all remember the hype when the mysterious "Revolution"(Wii) was revealed, people was hyped, nintendo was ready to sell a new revolutionary console(no pun intended) and things were going amazing to nintendo.
Now we are living the hype once again with the
Wii U, what do we think about it?, lets find out.






Dead-Pool"s Impressions:

The first thing i see interesting was the Wii U game pad, the first looking of this control was pretty good and when Nintendo said that you can also play in the gamepad with no TV on.





The first games that i see was the new Mario bros. game New super mario U, this game look very cool and you can get really fun game because is Mario game, who dont like a mario game?, but the story got the same trama of all Mario plataforms games, save the princess peach, AGAIN..... but is good, the story is the thing that makes a game a good game. Another game is ZOMBI U, a survival horror that his playability is like Dead Island game and that"s was a very good, BUT...

BRAINSSSSS!!!!!

we got a lot of good expectative of this game but finally didnt was like we expected but anyway this is the only zombie game on Wii U console and if you want a game of zombies, buy this game and get fun with. When i get my Wii U im going to buy this game probably... and
HOW LONG YOU CAN SURVIVE!!!???

In general the Wii U is going to revolutionize Nintendo and the world.



Peabody"s Impressions:


The game pad idea was nice and diferent, but the control just feels a little awkward because its ridicously big but the gameplay will improve in many multiplayer ways thanks to this.



All right, the games, nintendo land looks like a really nice distraction and amazingly fun to play with friend, it seems enjoyable and the minigames are really fun and nostalgic but the single-player doesnt look that solid to me, however the fact that nintendo land is shipped with the Deluxe Wii U pack makes it an instant game to have with your Wii U!





Scribblenauts Unlimited ironically is the game that calls my interest more than any other game on the Wii U, the fact that you can create objects and summon Zelda and Mario items is amazing and the multiplayer idea is really interesting and a story mode seems innovative for a scribblenauts game.


New Super Mario Bros U seems like an OK game but the 2D Mario idea seems repetitive, but its all right if it has multiplayer, specially if the 5th player is a troll, it seems like fun and the Flying Squirrel Suit is so ridiculous its funny.

Zombi U does not call my interest and i can buy all the other games on my xbox so meh.


Conclusion:
im interested in the Wii U but ill wait a bit until I buy it, it calls my antention.

Fact of the day #20

God of War has a pretty cool glitch in which you can literally get a fourtain of red orbs. The best way to achieve this is to kill a harpy or ny other enemy on the Challenge of Atlas"s ladder, the glitch works as a enmy gets stuck and cant necessrily disapppear. 

If done right the glitch, there is going to a limitless array of red orbs will stream out of the corpse of the enemy meaning Kratos can upgrade his weapons to the ultimate levels far faster than usual.
