The verdict
A chaotic, colorful Insomniac shooter with superb rail-grinding traversal and wacky guns, but the PC port corrupts saves and crashes. Skip it if cringe humor bothers you.
Great for
Fans of Tony Hawk, Jet Set Radio, Saints Row or Spider-Man who want goofy, fast, fourth-wall-breaking action
Main risk
Corrupted or lost saves and crashes in the PC port, plus humor and missions that may not land
What players love
