of all the games i find myself defending i never thought i would be going to bat for this one. there's something about this one to me especially playing it off the heels of my first ever watch through of the animated series but i really wish this wasn't roped into the film, because first of all. it does not adapt or run parallel to the film and besides the design of aeon herself and a few minor details features almost exclusively original material or inspiration from the series and the thing is that it's done fairly well. but this comes with the large caveat of the game being Terrible to play for the most part and i can only imagine that it was because this game was rushed to meet the release of the film. but if you look past that and look at the writing and the bonus intel cutscenes you can find across the game world there's a certain level of playfulness and care to it that you can really tell that there were fans of the show working on this and i honestly just wish this was given a longer deadline and wasn't forced to tie into the movie because i think they could have made a compelling game primarily lifting from the show and honestly would still like to see a game inspired by the show. i'm not sure if i recommend this game per say but if you can stomach that mediocre to frustrating gameplay you might find things to love like i did.
