I think its the best "new" platformer this gen. Its such a different experience to other platformers, and it so rewarding when the music and environment changes while you play.
The biggest problem, level length, is really determined by the time you choose to spend painting the world, and you can spend a LONG TIME doing this, but the game itself is as solid as you can get.
Get the sequel for sure, because they will have fixed alot of the very small issues, but the original is a goddamned classic and deserves to be recognized as one of the best platformers in a decade, and the best Australian developed game ever.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
