What we thought
"This game is definitely flawed, the controls are clunky, I don't think its anything special graphically, and to be honest much of the game play was a bit clunky as well. Looking for positives the presentation was one of the only truly stand out things about the game, with a very nice end sequence on completion. Other than that I did like some of the boss fights, and the game was a good length for the release year. Where it comes to the score, its difficult, I mean, this is better than a helluva lot of games released this year... I think it just about scrapes a 3/5 for me."
3/5
"This game is a game that has flaws. Primarily the controls feel a bit off to me, and whilst I do like the inclusion of the downward attack, wall bouncing, and vine swinging everything feels a bit awkward. Sound wise I think its fairly reasonable, some of the compositions are quite catchy and there are a decent number of different tracks. All in all I think the game is just okay, and its only just achieving the 3/5 I'm giving it as well."
