Paper Mario: Sticker Star: Difference between revisions

Cam Shea of IGN gave the game an 8.3, praising the fresh take on the ''Paper Mario'' series, the charming design, and the sense of humor, but criticized the sticker system for not working and some frustrating design elements. He wrote, "In spite of all my criticisms, Sticker Star is still compelling to play and a great deal of fun. The game’s infectious spirit and sense of humour is irresistible, and it’s big, too – you’re not beating this one in a weekend. It’s just a shame that putting stickers at the heart of the game didn’t turn out to be the master-stroke it so readily could have been.
