I played this without having played the Sands of Time trilogy, so i don't get most of the complaints from the fanboys of the rest of the franchise. I liked the storyline, the interaction between both characters and the acrobatic rummaging about. The never dying thing didn't bother me at all. I did get a little frustrated in some of the "teleport" paddle sections where you had no vision or proper indication of where to dodge, and failing meant repeating the whole process from scratch. Fighting sections sometimes felt a bit boring but was acceptable to break the monotony from all the jumping. Had fun playing the game overall. And didn't really miss the often mentioned epilogue DLC to have a proper ending to the game.
it's more of a short animated movie then actually a game. but it's well written, composed and directed, worth checking out if you catch it on sale.
Great pixel artwork, good multiplayer campaigning. Only downside is the constant fire button mashing making your hand cramp quite fast.
