    Decent platformer, but far from perfect. i kinda got bored with it rather quickly. i suppose i expected too much and got too little in return. RENT FIRST!

    Looks nice, but can make you puke if you're susceptible to motion sickness (in games). I wanted to play a bit longer than 15 minutes to see if it was worth it, but basically my brain fried and the rest of the evening I had to lie down and take it easy.

    This game is a fun time. There are better options out there, but this is still a good choice. The only thing that disappoints me is that the first one was never ported to the Wii. This is a sequel, so if you want to play the original, you'll have to play it on PSP. Anyway, if you want to play co-op on this game, the Wii version is for you.

    The levels are colorful but dull, and after a mere five minutes a lurking sense of deja vu descends. Dead poor. [July 2008, p.82]

    Forty dollars is a little steep for a cookie-cutter game with bad camera control and repetitive levels.

    Great for young kids, but not so much fun for serious gamers. [Issue#23, p.64]
