The original game on Wii was so much fun. This game is much different, it's a platformer with small puzzles sprinkled in by having to place crates and trampolines in the right places to progress through the level. This game is crazy hard tho! You're being chased by the Truffle Princess which basically times you to get these puzzles in place to platform ahead before she catches you, otherwise you die. You can change the difficulty of the game to "easy" and she won't be present tho so the game basically becomes a more casual puzzle-solving game. Personally, right now I prefer this mode which makes it nice to platform along and enjoy things without feeling rushed as you figure out the puzzles.
Art is amazing. There's a rendered cinematic movie at the start of Level 1 that looks like something from Blur or Pixar. And the cutscenes between worlds are great as well. The environment is nice and still has that great charm from the original Mushroom Men. The main character is great, enemies are great, Truffle Princess is hideously great, and the music is great.
It's super frustrating at times but I like that because I feel like I won't get sick of the game anytime soon as I attempt to take on Normal and Hard difficulties.
Overall I think this game is a lot of fun, pretty original and it's refreshing to have a challenge these days with so many watered down games out there that dumb down the difficulty to the point that you are sick of them too quickly. I won't be sick of Mushroom Men: Truffle Trouble anytime soon.
