about halfway through this game atm and it's so funny. i love it i feel like it seems underrated

ost is incredible, aesthetic is nice but i just don't think the play of it works compared to 2 and 3. wonderful to see a game experiment before 3D gameplay and controls were set in stone though

the only downside of this game is the controls. otherwise, everything is great.

I really don't like the actual controls or platforming all that much. But the aesthetic, lighthearted nature, the banger soundtrack, and the premise really make this a great game. I even went back and 100%'d just because I loved it so much. I also remember my mom being pissed at me as a kid having to go back to the store and buy a dual analog stick controller. Good times.

for being like *the* first analogue stick game with a weird ass control scheme i think it holds up oddly well. I think that has to do with the structure of the game actually. its kinda similar to mario odyssey of all things with how free it is and not really requiring a lot of punishing platforming until the late game. But i think when the game gets to that point and starts getting more linear the weird controls stop working in its favor and the game starts to drag like hell
