I just rented Super Papar Mario and the wife and I worked on it for a couple of hours together. It's actually a pretty cool game to work thourgh with someone else. There's enough puzzely action for the nonplayer to feel involved by giving suggestions. It's also neat to just watch, as the graphics are very pretty and odd in a good way. The 2D/3D thing doesn't seem gimmicky yet. Alllllll the text gets old but at least some of it is cute and/or funny. I spent $8 renting this thinking banking on being able to both finish this thing in 5 days and it not having much replay value. 3 hours in and I'm only maybe 15% done, so I have a lot of work ahead of me. To be fair, some of that time is definitely just filler. As someone points out, sometimes you just run around in circles being instructed to go from point A to B and back. I guess that's how you make a 15 hour game into 25?
