Occasional Playstation 2 jank aside, this was an absolute joy to play over the weekend. Saturday morning cartoons, noir films, and graphic novels all stirred together to create a game beaming with an amount of personality hard to find in most games. It isn't all style, however, as the game shoots you into its gorgeous, cell-shaded levels that are packed with (mostly) tight platforming, races, mini-games, collect-a-thons, bosses, and polices chases that can be all finished in a tight, addicting six hour period! It's crazy nowadays to see a game this to the point and focused, not bogged down by unnecessary parts, that leaves you satisfied but wanting more. sigh, if only there were sequels made.
