I had this game as a kid and I hated it so much, dropped it at Moonhaven the third world. Years later I'm an adult and I decide to cave in and just go back and beat the game from start to finish.

Its not as atrociously bad as I remembered it being, but I don't think its good either. There's definitely some good in it, I love the 2D art of the characters, the original music is neat, challenge stages are fun, and I like the chants being used for powerups, minigames are solid, and some of the sidequests are fun.

But unfortunately alot of the good stuff this game does is heavily overshadowed by its negatives: alot of the missions are tedious, annoying, unclear to the player, Moonhaven is still horrible, the controls aren't as tight or good as the original 2 games (due to Adventure being developed by Traveller's Tale) I could go on but you get the idea.

It makes me sad cause this game definitely could've been something good had the devs been given more time to work on the game and iron stuff out, but unfortunately it had a deadline, had to be released on 6th gen consoles before the wake of the 7th generation.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend playing it, but that doesn't detract from the good stuff this game has going for it.
