Woo! (sums it up *perfectly*)
Ok, so trying to review responsibly here without bursting into enthusiastic yells...
Right.
Firstly, the game allows you a *lot* of choice in terms of personalising characters (I'm always the fluffy one, with cowboy boots!), and even more as you play on because you win more characters and weapons as you go. The possibility of uncovering scenes, characters, and weapons really makes you want to keep on playing! Not only that, but the brilliant upbeat music is the best encouragement.
The controls are simple and easy to learn, and since you can pick your own difficulty (and there's a well-thought difference between each difficulty, so that the whole game isn't either too hard or just a complete breeze) you can learn the little tricks and funky moves in an easier level before moving up to test out your newfound skills on the bigger bads. Plus, since you discover all kinds of weapons quickly, you can get used to all of their different effects and modes (and they are *very* different and *very* inventive!), plus all the powerups that pop in occasionally.
The graphics rock :D like the shield! Aw I love the shield. Perfect for a rubbish player like me. And the stomp! What a great move. And since you can pick all different levels for any particular difficulty, you've always got a change of nicely-designed scenery. Plus the layout of the game and the little details, like the "You killed yourself" or "He punched you out" icons on the side are not only cute and funny, but help you keep track of what's going on.
And I love it!
And not only that, but this is just a review for ONE out of THREE different parts of the game.
Now think about how awesome the whole game must be if just ONE PART is this AMAZING.
Such a groupie :D
Now stop reading! Go! Play! Conquer!
And come back for more :D
