It's hard for me to express just how much I love this game. Like even from the demo on the first XBox Exhibiton Demo Disc. I've been with this game since Day 1. I didn't even know this was a series back then, like I just assumed that 3 was a weird symbol.
I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like this game for how weird and annoying it can be with all of its characters and music tho. Still, this came out when I was 5 and I've been doing yearly playthroughs of it since. Sometimes more than once a year.
So much I ended up loving the whole series, got all the cutscenes from this game uploaded to my YT channel on top of beta/scrapped scenes, got the Dreamcast beta files on hand and 4 prototypes for Xbox that were leaked recently. Checked all those for differences. Like I've done everything I can with this game and I still don't get tired of it. Like the amount of excitement I had when I found out Xemu could run this so I could finally stream it for my partner.
Anyways, it's only a little bit like 1 in that you walk around levels, pick up presents to use, and get to the elevator. Just more to it. There's objectives for each level and enemies to "Funkify". Just 2 boss fights and minigames in between. Vinyls that act sorta like stars in SM64. I guess you could call it a collectathon, but I think it keeps itself fresh enough. Every character has their own special attributes, too. Even 3 DLC characters you can get through the 2nd XBox Exhibition Demo Disc. It's repetitive, yes. But, I'm biased and it's fun. At least try it. This one was buried by Sega and they really made sure nobody remembered this series save for the first game. Really did the whole series dirty. And if you do try it and like it, god forbid you tell me you like it. I can talk about this series for Hours.

I was way into this from 2008-2011. Didn't touch it much at all until just recently this year I decided to see what people could do with it.
Like yeah it's impressive what people can do with Lua scripting and all that now. But it really takes away the charm it had in 2008-11. Maybe I'm just old and miss it idk.

I'm so conflicted with this one. Like I've been playing it since 2014 iirc. I remember even enjoying the early access version more, just exploring planets with no real goal and building shit.
Something about the full game and having a story you can easily beat. Idk, like after I beat it I was just like "ok now what". And that's it. Now what? You can mod it, but imo (and most other peoples' from what I've seen) it just gets boring fast af.

This is one of those games I give the "Doom 3 effect". Like it's good, but is it really what the series originally was? It definitely captures it, but it feels so different. Obviously way more polished and all since MM2 was starting to look a bit dated by 2003.
The real highlight, imo, is how it actually has more of a story mode to it. One for each city. It's a lot more narrated and over the top weird. Still, not bad. Shame it had to Xbox only since modding is what made MM1 and 2 so great imo.

I hate this ending so fucking much
You just win the final tournament and there's a cutscene of your characters stiff ass face just saying like I Win :)
then you get a car you can easily buy at any point in the game fuck you
Anyways it's pretty fun to progress through and all. Maybe tiring and repetitive after a while, but it gets the job done.
Also the maps (2 of them) are huge holy shit
