1) If there are any, they're not really an eyesore. SAO itself has had some poor shots, so if that didn't get in your way of enjoying the story, AGGO probably won't be a problem either.

2) The series does have a story. Whether it's a story you'd like is a different question. It's more light-hearted than SAO, has quirky characters (I'm not saying that the quirks are bad though), and it does have more shooting than the Phantom Bullet (GGO) arc had in the original SAO, but it does have some character development as well.

If you want my personal opinion, the series is nice in its own way. It's worth at least giving it a try.
