Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Critic Reviews
Frag Land
The Nintendo64 title Paper Mario appeared in Europe in the last years of this console and since most people had already focused on the Gamecube that was arising at the horizon, the game didn't really sell well. Too bad as unique graphics, a fun battle...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at Frag Land
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has been labeled as a 2D role-playing game staring yours truly, Mario. But even just as the adventure starts, it’s seems to be so much more than that.

When Mario receives a letter from Princess Peach containing a treasure map, he sets off to the slums of Rogue Port. It’s there he learns that the Princess has been kidnapped, of course, and that he’ll need to collect the seven Crystal Stars to...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at Team Fremont

It's a testament to the diversity of the medium that in a season marked by realistic, violent and often grim video games like "GTA," "Halo 2" and "Def Jam: FFNY," a game like Paper Mario can be so willfully charming, harmless and child-friendly in...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at 1UP

players might not even be able to decide what they should do and where they should go first, which is a good thing. All-in-all, most gamers will probably find Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Old Door to be a fleshed out, elaborate Mario-adventure sometim...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at WHAM!

For those who think that Nintendo has nothing to offer in terms of RPGs, look again. I'm not even talking about Tales of Symphonia or the recently released Baten Kaitos.

Stage fright is definitely something to avoid, as all battles take place on a stage, complete with lighting, props, and an audience; these all come into play in one form or another. The battle system is a little complicated and will take some time to...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at RPGamer
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is another solid effort for the world's most accomplished plumber. Many will instantly dismiss the game for its "kiddy" aesthetics, but this would be a mistake, since under the pastel exterior lies a surprisingly meaty...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at Jaded Gamer

It seems the only developer going for gusto on the GameCube these days is Nintendo themselves. Although their release list looks a bit anemic (dare I say on life-support), what is there is solid. Take the newest Paper Mario for instance – pushing its...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at GotNext
I can see what other people love about it. It’s fairly cute and has a nice easy-going vibe, yet it requires some skill and thought to play. It feels classic, as though it’s come straight from someone’s thoughts in 1995. There are heaps of puzzles...read the complete Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door review at Videogames NZ
