As one of those simple co-op games akin to the LEGO games, it's pretty solid. I can see a kid and their siblings or parents enjoying it for a while.

As expected, I have a few gripes, most of which stem from me playing the Wii version (the one without the DLC).

First, while I do like the visuals of the game, in particular the environments, it does feel lower-end, but not to a distracting degree. Even then, there were better looking games before this, ESPECIALLY on the Wii. Kirby: Return to Dream Land released the same year and it looks better than this by a mile. Also doesn't help that the player character's face is constantly at a grimace when the camera is pulled far back.

Speaking of lower-end, enemy AI. I have no clue as to why the enemies behave in a similar manner as the player. I get it's to halt progression, but that still doesn't make it any less of an inconvenience.

Overall, I enjoyed the game fine enough, I just wish I could like it more. Still better than Plankton's Robotic Revenge, that's for sure.
