Short review which I will edit later, hopefully:
Still a fantastic beat-em-up, this and Castle Crashers back in the day helped me fall in love with the genre. The moment-to-moment mechanics pale in comparison to some of the more modern BMUs but honestly the music, art style, levels and characters more than carry this game to greatness.
I wish the leveling system wasn't opaque (a complaint I share with River City Girls) but as a returning vet it didn't bother me. Also the story should definitely change a BIT more for each character you play as, rather than just the ending slide but... still, running around this world, beating up hipsters and ninjas and extras on a movie set still felt damn good.
Also its like 15 bucks just buy it man
Final Grade: A-
