This game greatly surpassed my expectations. First of all the soundtrack is amazing it fits the game perfectly to a tee, and the visuals are charming and unique enough to set it apart from the dozens of collectathon platform era of its era. The gameplay is well balanced and employs a fair mix of platforming prowess and light puzzle elements in addition to some variety with racing and combat here and there, the worlds are varied and polished. My only slight gripes would be the atrocious camera characteristic of many early 3D platformers, and maaayyybe the controls but after a while you get used to it and it makes sense that Rocket would be slippery being that he’s well on wheels so to speak. Also the ending isn’t the best especially when you go out of your way to get all the tickets I wish there was a bit more pomp and circumstance, and the comic sans font employed throughout the game made me chuckle at a few points but I suppose it fits the circus-y vibe of the game. All around a fun time, it wasn’t too short but it didn’t overstay its welcome either, a must play
