Bought the game and played the first 2 stages together with. After that we ended the session and honestly, i was a bit underwhelmed. I had heard so many people praise the game as one of the best of all time. Of course i still thought it was fun. Just not THAT good.
After some time i came back and desided to play the rest of the game. And HOLY SHIT im happy i did that.
Everything began to make sense. The movements was incredibly smooth. The level layouts were probably the best i've ever seen. And on top of that, great characters who actually show growth.
Also the story was pretty good aswell

DEFINITELY 5 STARS! on par with the greats of all time.
