Good base gameplay but man, did they ever feel like padding stuff out.

I don't mind the boat stuff too much but a lot of things are just.... there. Not just there but there to make the game longer like getting items to upgrade the water jet (but you gotta cycle through the other vehicles and grind for them to get the water jet's max upgrades) all to beat some asshole named Johnny to get to the final boss.
A shame too because I enjoy some levels and (all) bosses more than the original Rush.

Overall, I like one half. The other I don't outright hate but could've done a better job to not stretch the game out.
