The mechanics are wonderful fun and continually evolve throughout the game keeping it as fresh as possible. It feels fantastic to get a better time and get the best medals possible, always giving you that "one more time" feeling.
The story, while not bad, certainly isn't the strong point. A lot of the side dialog just isn't great and the cutscenes being just pictures that sometimes shake gets old fast. It doesn't actively ruin anything, but it could have absolutely been better.
(100%ing the game takes some extra time and might be a little bloated, but it's worthwhile for the feelings of overcoming the challenges it throws at you.)
