Oh geez, I didn't like that game at all. They removed all of the story and character that Paper Mario is known for and just made it match the format of regular Mario games. So dissapointing, especially after waiting so long for a sequel to The Thousand Year Door.
Storywise, yes, it's pretty much garbage, but I think that the game tries to do some interesting things with the gameplay, but what they exchanged for those gimmicks just strips the game down in the end.
