Still has the charm as the other Paper Mario, but the lack of turn-based battles disappoints.
Otherwise this is a decent game worth a buy, just don't go in thinking this will be like previous Paper Marios.
The Good: It still upholds the charm that the other two Paper Marios had. The ability to control four different characters ( Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Peach) and using their abilities to move along in your adventure. Your new sidekicks are a little redundant (all are Pixl creatures) but their abilities are interesting and fun to use. And finally, it is wrapped up with a nice compelling story.
Final Verdict: Yeah, its worth a buy, it is a good platforming and strategy game. But if your thinking this like the other Paper Mario installments, you are sorely mistaken.
