It genuinely lives up to the hype. It's been a long time since a game this good has come out.

I spent more time than I want to admit as a kid grinding out insane mode clears on multiple characters. Fun game, especially with friends.

As my first game of the franchise this was a solid introduction. Although I often felt like the game was almost embarrassed by itself and refused to take itself even somewhat seriously. Humor was mostly fine but when it flopped it flopped really bad. Still, goofy fun but not really the most memorable experience.
