General Commentary and Game Overview
After the original Paper Bowser World, I wanted more. And then it seemed he cancelled this one, but then he came back, finished it and now I think of it as one of the better games on this site.
 
Pros Great Graphics
Humorous Storyline
Good Gameplay
Lots of Features
Easy-to-learn controls
Decently-lengthed game
Good sounds
 
Cons Some puzzles are annoying
Certain things should have been left out
Pretty average music, overused.
A couple of glitches
Gameplay gets repetative
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
Well, it's like the original. This game is pretty good in this area. Basicly, you go around as Bowser, solving puzzles, defeating enemies and bosses, eating meat, and a few other things. For the most part this game is glitchless, but there are a few, only they don't ruin the gameplay. But the gameplay can get repetative, jump, shoot, stomp, jump...
 
Graphics
9 / 10
The graphics are what make this game soar. Custom graphics that all match and look wonderful. Heck, even custom enemies and a tileset.
 
Sound
6 / 10
Well, there is a lot of sounds in the game, i'll give it that. But the sounds do get annoying sometimes, constantly hearing Bowsers "Ghnaaaar!" And "Bwahahaaaaa!". And not all the sounds are really great, but I will give him credit for the amount of sounds in the game. Plus the music is basic Mario mostly, so...
 
Replay
7 / 10
Well heres the thing - It's not "Replay" because there's things to do after the game, it's because the game is sort of long, it's pretty addictive and you keep wanting to come back and beat it. Though it would have been nice to add a few things like mini-games or something to increase the replay value, but hey - What are you going to do?
 
Final Words
7 / 10
Paper Bowser : Operation G.R.O.M is better than the original, but still has the flaws.

Okay, two quick things:

1. What things should have been left out?
2. How is the music overused? It's Super Paper Mario and Mario Galaxy music mostly, which has pretty much never been used.

Anyway, glad you liked it for the most part.

Well, maybe I was exagerating on the music part. Just many of the games that i've player (Outside of here) use that kind of music. I could have been mixed up with the original, actualy.
But what should have been left out? Some of the worlds were annoying, like the first few levels with the colored block puzzles. Mainly, the puzzles. I kinda wanted it to be more like the original, plow through the levels - you know. Of course, it's just my opinion. But of course leave some in - It would get boring otherwise. Thats just what I think.

Yeah, I do seem to be catching quite a few people off gaurd with the fact that this game ISN'T all about smashing through stuff like the first one. Of course, people complained that all that smashing was tedious, and now people say that this one should be more like that one. Oh well. What are you gonna do?
