What players think
The recurring themes across 209 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Also there is a big replayability value with score and time leaderboards for each level
But why would you play a platformer for the plot?
The game has a nice comedic art style, sound effects and music, but that can lose its charm when you have to redo an area 20 times in a row.
Graphics were fine for the era, but nothing to write home about today
'Splosion man's one liners are funny by the hundredth time you hear them they begin to lose their charm, same goes for the soundtrack, and levels could use more variety, and it can be frustratingly difficult at times, where if your even a hair off, or a split second too late or too early it means an instant death, but thankfully they gave you an option to skip sections that are too hard for you, and checkpoints are generally well placed but there are several levels that have awful checkpoints, and one minor complaint is that when you hit certain enemies they slam onto the screen blocking your view of what's happening, I found it incredibly annoying, but even with these flaws I found myself falling into the just one more level trap time and time again, this truly is a great game, and if your looking for a fun platformer and don't mind some punishing difficulty look no further, however the easily frustrated should look elsewhere.
Couch & online multiplayer! - Not a lot of couch co-op options on PC, always nice to have
