I haven't stayed up late to finish a game in a long time - E: OthW was a blast! Just the right mix for me of jumping, bashing, shooting, surfing, puzzles, and story. Haven't had this much fun since Beyond Good and Evil, which this game made me nostaligc for with the bo-staff fights, hovercrafts, and pig-styled characters. That said it's a completely different game and much darker story, but still enjoyable and fun to play.

The fight style can be tough, to the point of frustrated cursing at times, but it helps break the simple run through of the jump puzzles and co-op puzzles, which are thoughtful enough to add to the game but not mind breaking. The decoy feature with your partner is handy, even if you get frustrated with the constant "Monkey! Go fetch this!" "Monkey! I can't jump." "Monkey! Kill something!"

I also love the characters, Monkey in particular is great and Pigsy is hilarious. The graphics and detail really bring them to life. Love also the silly jumping / climbing mechanic whcih grows on you after awhile.

The only thing I wasn't happy with was the ending, which felt cut off after staying up to finish it through, but there's still extra Pigsy content to play and the journey is more satisfying than the destination.

This game is not that pricey, totally worth a few hours of your life. Buy it!
