Great game, but doesn't even compare to the other two.
Good:
- Very creative with the 2D to 3D swaps.
- Boss fights are epic.
- It still LOOKS like the old Paper Mario.
- Partners are completely different from the last two games.
- Still has some of the characters you've come to love through the first two games.
- A Mario game where his mission isn't to rescue the princess? Wow, never thought I would see that.
- You not only get to play as Mario, but also Luigi, Bowser, and Peach.
- Still quite a bit of stuff to collect.
- It requires you to use your brain a little.
Bad:
- It's not turn based.
- Too different.
Overall Review: If your expecting something like the first two games, this game won't do it. However, this game is still definately worth the purchase.
