One of humanity's greatest missed opportunities; if this game had a good story, it'd be one of the best games ever made. Or a decent story. Hell, any story that I could play around my family, without having my index finger hovering over the Escape key.

If we ignore that and the (to be fair, non-mandatory) heavenly delights, then the razor-tight, speed run friendly gameplay, the unambiguous, slick visuals, and the energetic soundtrack all coalesce to make this game one for the ages.
