Paper Monsters Recut Review

What if someone took LittleBigPlanet and Mario’s gameplay and threw them into a blender with paper?

If they did that, you’d (almost) have Paper Monsters Recut for Wii U. Developer Mobot Studios has created a game that has all of that, plus its own crafty charm and some non-platforming gameplay too.

Let me tell you just how much I love this game.

----------------------------------------------------

Paper Monsters Recut doesn't have a story. It really doesn't need one either. The truth is that most platformers don’t have a story and we could care less. Why? Because we love the gameplay.

Recut’s gameplay is so much fun. I couldn't stop smiling and wanting to play more of this game. Every level seemed to bring a new surprise, whether it was some new unique enemy (snot monster!), jumping around on a train, flying through the sky on a jetpack, and more. Paper Monsters gameplay never gets boring. Every level is packed with fun.

Though, the game is not packed with challenge. I’m not going to say you’ll never die. You may die once and awhile, but overall, the game is more about fun and less about frustration. If you are looking for a challenging game, look elsewhere. Personally, I love it. I’d rather be having fun with a game than dying over and over a million times. Also Paper Monsters is all about the gameplay and not about gimmicks.

Recut doesn't use many of the gamepad’s unique features. In fact, the only one it uses is Off-TV. The off-tv play looks perfect though. Paper Monsters is a lot of fun to play on TV and off-tv. The graphics look great on both.

Paper Monsters’ graphics are really wonderful. The game looks like someone crafted all the characters and backgrounds with paper. It is a beautiful game. Its also very pleasing to the ears.

I really like this game’s music and sound effects. One of my favorite pieces of music in this game is during the killer Western levels. Its all very well done.

In fact, that’s the best thing to say about Paper Monsters Recut. The game is so well done. It is a game that anyone, any age, can pick up and play. Everyone will have fun with this game.

----------------------------------------------------------

Paper Monsters is a must have game on Wii U. Its fun and it looks great. I highly recommend you run out and buy it NOW!

My Score: 9/10
