The gameplay, platforming, and boss fights are at their peak in this game. The story though is the weakest while there's nothing that bad in it, some of the characters act out of character to what they're like in the last game(mainly Athena) also the level design in this don't feel or look as good as they did in the previous games, most of the levels kinda look and feel the same. but while the story and levels may have fallen short, the great gameplay makes this game tied with the second one in terms of enjoyment.
