General Commentary and Game Overview
Sequel to the awesome PBW! Yayz!

Indeed, but the original was way better. This one is also great, but the theme is completely different. While PBW was mostly get-to-the-end action, GROM seems to be more complicated and based on switchblocks and powerups.
 
Pros -Excellent paper mario humour
-Better graphics
-Original and humorous bosses
 
Cons -Not as funny as the original
-Boring switchblock puzzles
-Desert world ruined by the rancid meat
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
The game plays well and every level is different. But the puzzles, for example the switchblock level in the first world give it different feeling than PBW, not in a good way.

There's not as much enemies I can kill just for the the fun of it, and the desert world is actually based on avoiding them as mini Bowser. Water world is only swimming and forest is finding the correct exit.

Actually I only enjyed the first and the last world.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
Graphics is the best part. Wonderful customs in Paper mario 2 style, but sometimes the outlines look blocky.
 
Sound
9 / 10
Super Paper Mario music and sounds that fit in this game. Pretty good.
 
Replay
5 / 10
If I would play this game again, I would only play the first or the last world. Passwords are useful in this point.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
A sequel to a classic, but does not feel the same.
