This game was really fun, and makes some improvements on the solid base of the original. The game's incredibly varied moveset flows very well and works excellently for this game's focus on speed. Completing it was very fun, doing each level several times to meet the requirements. Finding the small collectibles gives a good sense of direction, the Vinyl records that unlock a remixed version of a level are more hidden and fun to find, and time trials are a good test of your abilities. I will say, my biggest issue with the game is how easy the time trials are. A handful gave me some issues, but for such a fun moveset I didn't feel like there were too many times that I was really forced to use it to it's maximum potential. This could be fixed the way crash bandicoot does it, where getting a gold rank is all you need to unlock achievements and the bonus level, but there's a bonus platinum rank that's much harder and is for bragging rights. Anyways, the game's pretty fun. I like the visual style, it's pretty distinct. The music is alright, didn't love or hate it. Overall, a pretty fun and short experience to master. (Also it seems like there's a good amount of people who really don't like this series for some reason. Don't listen to them. The game's fun.)
