I really wanted to say that I enjoyed this game. I enjoyed all the power-ups and the different stuff you could do with them, and not much else.

Stages are too long, boring at best or obnoxious at worst, and the sparse checkpoints means that one tiny slip-up will require you to redo so much progress, that it begins to feel more frustrating than actually challenging. Bosses aren't that much better with my complaints being mostly the same.

For what it's worth, I'm glad this game exists due to the fact that it serves as proof that there is still interest in this franchise, but unfortunately, this just ain't it.
