    I personally love Paper Mario games. I like a good challenge, a good puzzle, and a long game. So far loving this one. The last great game I played on a Nintendo system was The Thousand Year Door. I missed the immersion in a Mario game. It’s good to be back.

    I love this game! It is so cute & so fun! The graphics are absolutely amazing! Which is really neat during a paper mario game! There are some parts that aren't paper and it's so realistic too! Really fun story line too! This game is ALL THINGS GOOD!

    Not like the original but provides a unique spin in a 3D world. A lot of people have been knocking it, but you can easily binge this for 12 hours straight. A lot of fun, interesting story line, and for those that are completionists — gives you a lot to do post-story.

    I don’t understand why they keep doing these new paper Mario games without involving experience and those things that make it more rpg, like the first 2 games. Game is good, the new battle mechanics are ok, a little complex. Overall a good game but it could have been better

    Absolutely love this game. Having only played Super Paper Mario for the Wii and skipped a few generations, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this game. Fewer RPG elements made this game better, IMHO.

    I've been a casual fan of the Paper Mario series since the beginning. This entry has got me laughing at every corner, plus the visuals and origami themed worlds are delightful to see. Good length for completion and plenty of mini games. Highly recommend it!

    My son really wanted this game, found it on sale and got it for him. He loves it, it's challenging but fun and he's able to figure out the puzzles for each level. Definitely a good buy for an 8 year old, and my wife enjoys the game too.

    My first experience with Paper Mario was Sticker Star. This is SO MUCH BETTER than that. It has an interesting battle system with rings and such so there’s a lot of strategy. The visuals are so pretty and the music is, too. I recommend this if you like RPGs.

    I kept reading bad reivews about this game but I think its is amazing. I'd say this is my 2nd favorite Mario RPG, the first being Legend of the Seven Stars. This game truly feels like an epic RPG. It is pretty challenging and has a unique combat system.

    My kids are having fun with this game. It has a good story with a good amount of charm and comedy. The boss fights are the highlight of combat. The regular fights can get tedious to where you just want to avoid them. Don't expect much in terms of RPG elements. There is no leveling up in this game (hence wanting to skip fights).

    If your a fan of the Paper Mario series, this game deserves your attention. Its witty, fun, colorful and the new ring puzzle battle system is fun yet frustrating at times. Still, don't let that discourage you from at least trying this game. Thank you.

    Paper Mario Continues to reinvent itself. This game stands out on its own, just like the other Paper Mario games. It has unique features that I won't spoil but if you're a Paper Mario fan, you'll want to pick up this game.

    Fun Game, Poor Battle System

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although the game has a fun story and humor, the battle system has little to do with traditional RPG elements from Paper Mario origins and instead is reduced to a repetitive puzzle solving mechanic with no incentive to use as there is no XP rewarded for doing so.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great game for people of all ages. Nice break from the typical shooter type games I usually play. Dialog is funny, game play is pretty straight forward. Overall, glad I bought this game. Provided a nice distraction while staying at home more.
