Paper Mario: Sticker Star for Nintendo 3DS Reviews by Gamers

Ever since Nintendo showed the trailer of this game in E3 I was already excited! I've been a huge Paper Mario fan ever since I played the N64 version. After the huge flop that Super Paper Mario on the Wii was I was quite frankly desperate for a new Paper Mario as well as insulted that Nintendo would make such a sad excuse of a game, considering how Thousand Year Door on the Gamecube was mindblowingly good and epic. At first I was bit skeptical of this game I just couldn't believe that another Paper Mario game would ever come out or that it would ever be close to what it's N64 and Gamecube versions managed to do. I was pretty excited about the new sticker system though which I thought was pretty innovative. The first thing I noticed was the HD 3D graphics which are quite frankly the best in any Paper Mario I've ever played. I thought the overworld system Inspired by the older Mario classics was tidy and easy to use. I also enjoyed the abundance of Stickers, enemies as well the soundtrack. The Paper element was also more obvious in this Paper Mario than in it's predecessor. The game had a lot of funny moments and was hilarious in it's own right! The bosses were pretty epic and difficult at times, not to mention your partner Kirstie was full of personality and her smart remarks reminded me of Tatl in Majora's Mask. Not everything was perfect though there were a few major flaws though. For one this game lacked a story, which compared to it's counterparts was far from epic and didn't get much of a sense of direction. Second, The game only had one partner which is all right, but a Paper Mario game without many partners is not really Paper Mario. Thirdly this game beyond difficult sometimes and I've never had such a hard time with any game on this series, which is good, but might shy away newcomers. Overall, Nintendo did a great job on this game and I'm going to miss it, but I wish they would have at least bothered to include a decent story. Great game anyone should try.
