This wasn't a game, it was an experience.

The worlds are beautiful and the music is awesome (albeit slightly repetitive - it would have benefitted from having more variation between worlds/stages).

I was surprised at just how deep the customisation was, from multiple names, home planets and back stories to choose from for your fantasy Sci-Fi rockstar. Creating his look took a lot longer than I was expecting, with a variety of different clothing, hairstyles, guitars etc that can all be recoloured with lots of options.

The humour was brilliant, I was laughing out loud at many points.

As for the ending, I spent the whole game thinking it was going to end a certain way - and when it didn't, I guess I was a little disappointed. I assumed all the Sci-Fi, space-travelling madness was happening in Francis' imagination, and after he finally embraced his new personal we would find him back in his room, ready to confront the townsfolk and declare himself an enigmatic glam rocker. So I was surprised to find out that it was all.. real? He actually went to space and did all that? I suppose I preferred the metaphors of it all being inside his mind and struggling with his identity.
