On one hand, it's kind of a drag to play: Controls feel like putty, puzzles have the weirdest difficulty curve to them, and the 'beat-em-in-whatever-order' stage rule is a dumb excuse for them to make all the levels equally difficult without a good on-ramp. Even with passwords, you never feel like you have enough health, and it sucks to re-do an entire stage when most of it is single-solution brain-teasers surrounded by plenty of bottomless pits.

On the other hand, it really knocks it out on all presentation factors, as most licensed Konami works did. The animation and stage gags are great and only get better as it runs, and the respect for the source material is untouchable. Intentional or otherwise, the messy nature of its game design really does complement the rule-breaking rambunctiousness of the Warner siblings, and there's always this fun feeling of 'I shouldn't be here, but I can't wait to see what pops up next'.
