Paper Mario: Sticker Star isn't a bad game, but it's definitely tough to recommend this one to most people due of its tendency of being polarizing. Sometimes, you'll genuinely have fun with the game, while the other times you'd loathe it.
- If you don't like having a (online) guide handy with you, this game isn't for you. There's too many Guide Dang It moments throughout the journey, especially against the bosses.
- The story is forgettable, as it feels like the developers didn't even bother to make it cohesive and intriguing enough
- The sticker mechanic is a love-hate affair; it simplified the gameplay a lot, but it also becomes a tad restrictive at the same time
- Beside Kersti, there isn't a new character found in the game, because Miyamoto apparently didn't want more characters to be added
Unless if you're a die-hard Paper Mario fan, it would be wise to just stay away from the game. If you own a Wii/Wii U along with a GameCube Controller or Classic Controller, you're better served by downloading the N64 version of Paper Mario, which is priced at $10 (1000 Wii Points).
