Mini-games take a back seat to two kinds of platforming action
Words: Eric Bratcher, GamesRadar US
The third type of gameplay is a selection of 9 mostly throwaway mini-games, such as completing a slide puzzle, memory-matching pairs of cards, or completing some action-based task. They don't add much, but the other two gameplay types complement one another nicely, and it all plays pretty competently, one particularly heinous boss battle aside. The level designs are clever-ish, if not actually Mario-quality impressive. The biggest let-down? Easily the graphics, which are full of chunky shapes and primitive, basic textures and colors that wouldn’t look out of place on the original PlayStation. Well, and the fact that you can’t play this on a next-gen console like Wii, PS3, or 360.
