Anyone played this yet? I just got it today on something of a whim and so far it seems pretty good. I haven't played the first one so I can't really compare the two, but I'm really liking the visuals and the combat, which could be described as a more advanced version of the combat in Super Mario RPG. Apparently lots of people are whining about how childish games like this and Wind Waker look, but I love it (especially after a Ninja Gaiden marathon, it's a nice contrast), and the whole paper aspect of the game is relatively well done with some neat transitions and the like. I'm also entertained by the fact that Mario's default interaction animation looks like a zieg heil.

I say check it out if you have a Gamecube.

I don't know. Here in the next month or so, I'm gonna be up to my neck in a ton of other games. San Andreas, Halo 2...

yup...plus I have Star Ocean now. I loved SMRPG for SNES though. Maybe I'll check it out.
 
Yeah, I know there are lots of good games coming up (I'm especially looking forward to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Viewtiful Joe 2) but I'm bored now and my willpower was weak today.
