    It's a solid platformer, but it's not hard to notice that it lacks substance. The twist on traditional platforming that has you propelling the characters across the screen as opposed to jumping is quite unique and solidly implemented. However given that all the levels look and feel the same it gets repetitive fast. Like the entire game is just one big level, rather than a bunch of themIt's a solid platformer, but it's not hard to notice that it lacks substance. The twist on traditional platforming that has you propelling the characters across the screen as opposed to jumping is quite unique and solidly implemented. However given that all the levels look and feel the same it gets repetitive fast. Like the entire game is just one big level, rather than a bunch of them that you progress through.

    The same obstacles are used throughout just with varying degrees of difficulty. It's a one trick pony that does have an interesting trick, but it won't take long to get tired of seeing it. I do think it stayed solid throughout though. I just wish there was a little more variety and some of the mechanics were a little more refined (how do you mess up jump pads?).

    There are also a few technical issues that get in the way. The most troublesome being that sometimes the next level just won't load, leaving the game stuck on a blank screen. It is easily fixed by just exiting out of the game and restarting it, but it's a pretty big flaw nonetheless.

    There are some issues that get in the way of an otherwise charming platformer. The repetition can lead to tedium and it's just not a game that can compete with the plethora of better options out there. It's charming (although not exactly graphically impressive) presentation and unique core mechanic do keep things at least mostly enjoyable, but it's flaws make it one that's not going to please everyone.

    My total score for the game is a 6.8/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You have in one hand superb Gameplay and stunning, colorful graphics.
    On the other hand, you have 3 unknown characters to follow in a journey to nowhere. There is no story to be followed nor character development wich makes the game that less exciting to finish    … Expand

    Like a new wrestler getting a push, the fans will determine if 2K’s series succeeds or fails. [April 2015, p80]
