DKCTF does have production value. There aren't alot of 2D platformers that give you dynamic camera angles or Uncharted cinematic like platforming. It isn't just for aesthetic value either. One of the reasons so many people suck at this game is because they are not paying attention to their environments. DKCTF is a very beautiful game.
You might have me with Prime 3 with the motion controls (which is not everybody's favorite mechanism), but Prime 2 is very minimum in its uniqueness because it is essentially Prime 1. Even with motion controls in 3, it is still the same gameplay mechanic.
