    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My niece recommended this to me, with the strong caveat that there was a sibling death. Even so, I was devastated. (I lost my sister 5 years ago) But strong feelings are feelings, and they are good.

    And I *loved* it. It was so, so hard for me at first, and I had to keep moving my joysticks so the younger one was physically on the right so that I didn't send someone the wrong way (thankfully, it's hard to make them fall off cliffs in most places).

    Incredibly creative to make a game that hardly uses *anything* on the controller save the triggers and joysticks. *wow* And without understanding anything they said, the two boys are so expressive and athletic and loving and inventive. I wish it had been longer.

    This is a fairy tale of "hope" and two brothers will bring the weight to the end.

    Style and emotions remain deliciously unchanged, yet this re-release on current generation consoles isn't exactly a luxurious one (and it's even pricier than before...).

    It's still and enjoyable and original game, although this remake should be considered only by those who haven't already played the original, as the extra content is really thin.
