The verdict
A chaotic, funny co-op platformer with a great narrator, charming art and a level editor. Skip it if you play solo, dislike repetition, or hate hard late-game levels.
Great for
Friends or couples who want silly, chaotic couch co-op, plus nostalgic Xbox 360 fans
Main risk
Repetitive levels and a difficulty spike around chapter 6 can make it dull or frustrating, especially solo.
