Sorry folks. I'm actually not all that into platformers, but there have been a few shining exceptions for me. Ratchet and Clank, and now Daxter, for example. Even God of War has platforming elements, so the game designers are going to have to try a bit harder now.

In this case, there's a great idea with a lot of potential, but the tedium far outweighs that coolness. The graphics are blasé, the gameplay pretty much the same (at least as far as I managed to trudge through), and I kicked myself for buying it just because it was so d@mn cute. Lesson learned.

I honestly don't remember much else about it, as I tried to be interested in it for about 2 weeks, and just gave up.
