Insomniac takes 2 steps forward by addressing the uninspired boring from the first game, and then 2 steps back by making it a complete mixed bag of really good moments, lots of mediocre ones, and really really bad moments.

Everything this game gains in its characters and charm, it loses by making progressing through its levels a slog by just how boring some of them are. Regardless, the controls are tight and fun as they always were, and flying challenges are always good fun.

Have completed multiple times in full.
