| A while ago, I bought Starfox: Assault at my local game store for 599 swedish crowns (=77,54 USD). However, after having finished it a few times and trying to get enough silver badges to play Xevious I realised it was not at all as fun as I had expected. So i've been thinking about selling it back to the store and buying Paper Mario 2 instead. If I sell it back I will get 150 crowns (=19,42 USD) less than what they would sell the game for if it was previously owned, that means I'd probably get about 200 crowns (=25,89 USD) for it and would only need an additional 399 crowns (=51,65 USD) to buy Paper Mario 2 that also costs 599. So my dilemma is: should I give up on Starfox Assault and sell it back or should I give it another chance and wait until I have enough money to buy Paper Mario 2 at full price? | |||

Well from your description, it sounds like exchanging it for Paper Mario would be the obvious choice.  Mainly because you said you finished it and didn't have that much fun. |

Get Paper Mario II. I've had it for ages, and played through it twice, and its one of the most fun games you'll ever play. Seriously, it's worth the money  |

You kind of mislead me here, at first I thought you meant the original SNES Starfox ...  Sell it I guess, I've heard the game is only somewhat 'decent', but I've heard a lot of good things about the Paper Mario games, so it's probably worth it. Don't fret over the loss though, any trade in these days is a huge loss when it comes to money (unless you're selling really old / rare stuff or something) so it always happens.  |

| Paper Mario 2 is awsome! Although, it sounds like you wouldn't be getting much for your return. | |||

| $77? Ouch. My first impression was thinking Starfox is rental material, I did just that. Same with Wario World. They're a lot of fun, yet can be beaten in like 2 days. That's aside from all the gold medals or anything. Paper Mario 2 seems good from the amount I've played, except that it's too expensive. I'd wait and see if they'll "Player's Choice" it. At least, if Nintendo does that in your country. I went through Paper Mario 1 four times, then stopped as to not be forced into overwriting a save. Are you in a PAL TV region? I'm not familar with it. Anyway, you'll the new game. | |||

| Kind of like with the original Paper Mario and SMRPG, I just think it's way too short. Do you have any other systems besides Gamecube? |

Originally posted by theclawI never rent games, mostly because I want the time to discover and get every single little thing in a game when I play it. Sadly, that urge for absolute completion hasn't been there with Starfox: Assault and that's probably the biggest reason for my dissapointment, it just didn't entertain me in the same way that Lylatwars (PAL name for Starfox 64) did. We have Player's Choice here and I was planning on waiting for the price to go down, but Paper Mario 2 has been out for quite a while and I'm longing to lay my hands on it. Yeah. $77 is really a kick in the crotch, but that's what all new big games cost here. If we're lucky, the price will then drop to around $45 after a while. Originally posted by RoninWell, I have an old Snes. I can't afford more than one console every generation as I'm just a poor student who has to eat and games at $77 aren't making it any easier  |

Originally posted by Ronin 20ish hours isn't that short.  Yeah, you might as well try it, sucks that you didn't enjoy it though. Paper Mario 2 is kinda fun, I'm personally not a big fan of it though, after SMRPG it didn't seem right to play an RPG Mario that didn't flow quite as nicely to me. I'm also one of those people that loved the SMRPG battle system though. |

| For me, SMRPG was one of a kind, and though Paper Mario was not a BAD game, it did not hold much of a candle to SMRPG to me...I did not like that particular Starfox game very much. If you want to sell it at least you can have money to put to a new game. I would rent Paper Mario first, to see if you enjoy it. And if you do, you could always buy it and then pick up from your save file on your memory card. It's the safest way ^^ You might also want to buy that used so it will cost you a little bit less money. There is not too much different and if I want a game I really love but cannot afford it, I would buy it used instead |

Buying it used actually seems like a very good idea, I'll call the store tomorrow when I get home (from my first day at the university of Lund, one of the best universities in all of Sweden  ) and see they if have it.(edited by Simon on 08-31-05 05:19 PM) (edited by Simon on 08-31-05 07:11 PM) |
