I love this game. I was already prepared to like it, but even those expectations were blown away. Halfway through it takes an unexpected turn, and towards the end it gets even better. Beautiful, colourful, funny, good music...

In a game like this, I usually dread melee combat, and partake in it purely to move to next section, but once you get the hang of it, the combat here has a really nice flow to it, and actually presents a good challenge.

My only gripes with this game are really a result of it's console origins. The restrictive nature of the platforming is really disappointing. It FEELS good, because the animations are so smooth and fast, but there's no more to it then jumping to the next glowing thing on the wall. Which is a shame because I think this game could have really benifited from more open platforming. The mouse aiming is also pretty bad.

The options menu is a joke, but if you're willing to dive into .ini files and your graphics card settings, you can get this game to look absolutely stunning.
