18 of 117 sampled reviews raised it
I was extremely surprised with the graphics, music, gameplay (And that ending sequence is so smooth!) and the humor was pretty funny in my opinion, but it's only because I was expecting a 3 or 4 due to initial reviews and rumors.

Its 22 levels, collectibles, unusual narrative, comedy, secrets, achievements, and unconventional movement provide enough variety to support its central idea without unnecessarily complicating it.
