    So, with my "Game Renaissance" (so to speak), I've made it a point to replay games that I played as a kid and many of the ones I added to my Backlog were games I'd never beaten. I think this is one of those games and to be honest, it was more difficult than I expected. Still, if the average playthrough length is 7.5 hours (on HLTB) and I finished it in 2.5, maybe it wasn't quite difficultSo, with my "Game Renaissance" (so to speak), I've made it a point to replay games that I played as a kid and many of the ones I added to my Backlog were games I'd never beaten. I think this is one of those games and to be honest, it was more difficult than I expected. Still, if the average playthrough length is 7.5 hours (on HLTB) and I finished it in 2.5, maybe it wasn't quite difficult enough? I know it's for kids and I played it on the Gameboy Advance so I might not be the target audience; I still had a good time! It was entertaining, funny, slightly challenging, and it felt fresh. As a side-scrolling platformer, it excels in simply entertainment value but it doesn't offer anything you haven't seen before (even if it is 15 years old). Expand

    7 / 6 / 7 / 7 - 27 [Vol 788; 23 Jan 2004]
  2. There are more than 20 different locations in the game to unlock and visit.
  3. It's a fun game, especially for younger players, but it feels slightly more hokey than Hollywood. [Mar 2004, p.93]
