Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Also I just gotta say that I personally love the visuals of this game.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The levels are *much* more complex, the art direction is more interesting and appealing, and the gameplay is more fun, more engaging and quite frankly, more addictive than what my initial impression had lead me to suspect.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
- the presentation; the game is just plain beautiful with cheerfully vibrant colors (or appropriately dreadfully bleak ones, depending on the sister), fairy tale scenery and fitting enemy designs; it's a great combination of plain graphical fidelity and consistently good art direction; all of this is complemented by a soundtrack that alternates smoothly between jaunty melodies and their respective "rocky" remixes

An excellent platformer ONLY WHEN PLAYED WITH A CONTROLLER.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Extra content was actually impressive u also get a featured mode nothing really special but if you have multiplayer buddies playing along u can race them in 3 or 4 different small setting stages that is enough to give you a battering taste of umbrella fun!
