A Wii shovelware game where you swing the remote to win without much thought, but somehow pushed onto mainline consoles with the control scheme consisting of wildly swinging your analog stick in all directions to completely destroy its lifespan, pretending you are using a spade. It is so clearly not made with other consoles in mind, you have zero control in terms of movement for the most part. It's basically an autoscroller with a few minigames, all of which have the depth of a Warioware boss battle.

There's zero charisma between characters. Knockoff Antonio Banderas speaks for most of it, repeating lines in this game that lasts about an hour total. Took me more because it crashed constantly. Actually a tragedy that this is the only console outing for the character given the recent resurgence in popularity.

Also, there's God of War-like, uh, "romantic" moments. I am not kidding. There's some big fuckoff dangerous situation happening and he just stops, serenades the other cat, goes "pleasure is all yours", there's a screen transition in the shape of a heart, and he goes back to autorunning. Whomst've approved this in a kids game?
