Yes, it was a great use of cell shading, a very stylized approach on a venerable brand. Kudos. But when the game play mechanics detract from any real enjoyment, you've no other recourse but to throw down your controller, and put this stinker back into its envelope.
I was enthused and amused on the first and second "worlds", but quickly realized that I was doing the same thing over and over and over and over agaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiin. Being rescued every time I fell was novel at first and then quickly grew to extremely aggravating. You and I both know that there's more than enough space on the disc to have some variety in their "snappy" dialog. "Aak! You're heavier than you look!" ANNOYING THE FIRST TIME, but the hundreth, millionth, gazillionth time? Oh, you best believe their dialog grows annoying fast. And the bosses? LAME! Home-girl Elika is especially annoying during the fights. And whoever programmed the camera so that you can't see behind you while you're clinging to a ledge or vine needs to stop programming cameras and move on to a less annoying line of work, like stabbing me with a butter knife or becoming the new head of the RNC.
