Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Is PMSS worth getting? It looks awesome and I was thinking of buying it, but I've seen quite mixed reviews.

The Paper Mario series started when we introduced RPG elements as a means of differentiating the game from the platformer series. Through the inclusion of this story and the characters we wrote to fit that story, we ended up giving the game a unique character. However, for Sticker Star, Mr Miyamoto asked us to create a game using only characters already found in the Mario world rather and not any of our own. So instead of focusing our attention on the story or characters we focused instead on paper.

This is just ridiculous. What is wrong with you, Miyamoto? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Play it for yourself. You might enjoy the aspects of the game which annoy some reviewers.

To be honest, it's not entirely bad. On one hand, I'm disappointed that there aren't any new characters or enemies exclusive to the series, but on the other hand, it gave room for old enemies in the Mario series to be introduced in the Paper Mario games, such as Spikes, Snow Spikes, Ice Bros, Gooper Blooper, and Petey.
 
Well, I said what the World 3 and World 5 bosses were, but if you already knew who they were that then go ahead and click.

It's nothing major like plot details and stuff though, but I guess it could be for those who don't want to know what enemies are in the game or what two of bosses are.
 
Eh, I think I won't look.

And to clarify:

When I say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," I don't mean that you shouldn't make any improvements on a franchise. I mean that you shouldn't make drastic changes to the gameplay. For instance, Super Mario Bros. 3 had the basic ideas of Super Mario Bros, but it still introduced many new ideas that revamped the gameplay while still keeping true to its roots and having what everyone loved about the game.

Taking away original characters, partners, and the RPG elements is basically a giant "Screw you" to fans of the series.
 
I was surprised at how easy Petey was. I thought he was supposed to have 500 HP, but he only has 300 HP. I didn't even use a single thing sticker, and I brought the Air Conditioner, Boom Box, and Oven expecting a long fight. He didn't even go into the phase where he just bites the shit out of you for massive damage. Although, to be honest, I pretty much spammed Big Shiny Jumps on Petey. I had half a mind to use an Infinijump as well.
