    The game does not appear to have multi-player /co-op options, so my kids take turns. That ends up being a pain to manage, but aside from that, they love the game! We do not have Nintendo online so I don’t have much to say about that. Would recommend.

    A step up from the last few Paper Mario's but not quite great again. Combat is fun but becomes stale relatively quick. If anything, the writing and exploration are what kicks this game up a notch

    Its not the normal RPG even for Paper Mario series, but the new battle system is a mice change of pace. The soundtrack is amazing and goes well with both battles and over the entire world. Worth playing fot all ages. Great comedic value.

    Just opened for Christmas so not a lot to say yet about the game but Best Buy was impressive this Christmas season with their rapid and on-time shipping. All things being equal, I pick Best Buy over their big box competitors.

    I bought this game cause I have loved the Mario RPG games such as the "Mario & Luigi" games and I've played 1000 year door, but for some reason, this game didn't hold my attention for as long. There was another game that I was playing when this came out, so it kinda fell to the wayside.

    the game is fun and beautiful...but the game play is sooooo drastically different from the previous entries that it does not feel like paper mario anymore. I had to play Thousand Year Door after this since i missed the old gameplay so much.

    Its a good adventure game full of puzzles, turn based puzzle based rpg combat, and light rpg elements. The characters and writing are charming. Lacking in dungeony areas. Overall I had a good time with the game. I am not one who is hung up thinking every Paper Mario has to be TTYD part 2.

    It's an overall fun game to play, but I really hate all the battles. I would much rather just walk around the worlds and deal with the enemies the old fashioned way. There's also WAY too much storyline between game plays.

    Paper Mario The Origami King is a fantastic entry in the Mario series. The overworld is amazing and so our the characters you meet. Combat is challenging at first, but you get the hang of it.

    As always Paper Mario is a great game. I have been playing Paper Mario games since the Nintendo 64. Took me about 20+ to play through. Great replay value

    The game is a good mix of exploring, problem solving, and strategic turn based combat. Not a huge fan of manipulating the battlefield by turning "rings" but otherwise a fun game for most ages. The game isn't voiced so you will do a fair bit of reading but not to a burdensome level

    My kid really enjoys this game, but think he got bored quick . He probably will pick it up later in the year maybe wasn’t the excitement he was looking for . He enjoyed the art of Paper Mario world more than anything .

    This is the first of the Paper Mario franchise my kids have played, and it’s a lot of fun for them. They like the variety and change in overall theme/feel from regular Mario games. If you want a bit of a change, but something also familiar, this is a great choice.

    Charming adventure. I am a Mario purist and don’t normally play his non platformers. But this was a pleasant exception. Worth every minute.
