The experts say this is ON for ages 8 and up. I am questioning if this is so. Nevertheless I must start out clearing out that my son is 7 and will be 8 this coming June (right now we are in November) ,and my son has quite a bit of problems for 2 reasons:
1. As a reviewer said in IGN: "This game is wordy. Really wordy", and so it is.
2. Wordiness might not have been a problem if the vocabulary, I think, might be too advanced for the child.
I mean, I am even skeptical about the game EVEN if the parent is willing to sit with their child and read to them since, as I said before, the vocab can be pretty advanced. I have tested by letting my child play step by step and he gets pretty lost reguarding the HUGE amount of reading.
However, I still have yet to analyze how he gets through the game without reading. I guess that maybe in these areas the parent can actually direct the child as whot to speak to in the game to get a clue as to what to do next.
However, I am unsure how inaccurate my opinion can be. I think it would be VERY helpful if other parents that have this game with children between the ages 7 through 8 would give their opinion would be very helpful to other parents with children this age.
Plus I would love to hear what other moms and dads think.
Anyway, this is not to say that this game is in any way bad. It's really great, challenging, educational (because of the reading), and just plain fun.
Nevertheless, parents that plan to get this game with children younger than 7 should really hold off this one and go for a more suitable one.
I, however, will let my son play ALL by himself for the next few days and I will come back to let you guys know how its going. I also must admit that we just got this game so I find it necessary to come back later on. Maybe I will post it in a week's time.
Cheers to all.

A fantastic game for all ages
Although this game, like all paper Mario games, is playable by younger audiences, the quirky humor and references to Nintendo classics makes this game worthwhile for anyone who likes puzzles, platformers and fun. The controls are easy and go great with the unique Wii controller.

Mario is all paper-like
As usual, Mario is out and about doing things his way. This time both him and his world are paper thin and extra cute.
The game is fun and there are challenges. It's easy to play and rewards you for looking around. It doesn't take too long to beat but the journey to the end feels engrossing and good.

A very unique, but sometimes very frustrating game.
As i say in the title, the game is very unique. you can switch from 2D to 3D as mario, float as peach, or breath fire as bowser. There are many locales in the game that are beutifly drawn in a half and half style of 3d and 2d. The gameplay is solid, but, the later levels, even in some of the earlier levels, it is extrmemly easy to get stuck and not know what to do. Rent first to see if you can take the frustration, but, i do reccomend this game.

Fun, innocent, sometimes boring
I borrowed this from a friend and played it a few nights while my wife was away. It was fun to play an updated version of the old Super Mario games, but I did get bored after a while. The storyline is cute, and satisfyingly wierd, but after a while I longed for something a little less silly and a little deeper...
I'm absolutely sure kids will love it though - I loved Super Mario back on the NES. As the story is cute and quite innocent, there's nothing terribly upsetting and the simple storyline will probably appeal to a 8-15 year old. Also, the whole game's story is told with on-screen text - the cartoonish characters' words are just cartoon bubbles above their heads... so there is actually quite a lot to read.

Great game
Although most people who rate this low are idiots. Everyone who says it's bad say so because it's not like every other PM game with RPG elements. I'll admit, it's easier, but still, it has a nice nostalgic feeling. In terms of violence, it's not too bad despite the often-seen Death References close to the end. It's a very fun game and I highly recommend it.
