What? Combat system great you say? You just hammer A until all the baddies are gone. They attck you one-at-a-time 4 god's sake! The only good thing about the combat is that it looks pretty (like the rest of the game I might add)
Admitedly on occasions it is fairly enjoying but the gameplay is too patronising and repetetive to make it anyhting but mediocre.
Anyone know what you do with the cheat tokens?
It says take them to the maze I do that, then what?

Bollards. Pikmin took me longer.
You must be crap :D
At 10:10 hours on the clock I was 70% of the way there!
- The graphics are fantasticly detailed, the best on GameCube.
- The sound's great too, and incorporated seamlessly.
- It'll take you ages (I'm 39% through with 10:10 hours on the clock).
- The combat system and puzzles are great fun, if a little simple.
- Flying levels are quick, fast paced, and great.
- The plot's nicely put together, and makes the game fiendishly addictive.
Bad:
- It's fairly linear, with usually just the one way to do puzzles.
- If you're thorough, you'll get all the secrets first time through.
- For a five year project, you'd expect so much more.
- It's quite easy:
-- The combat system and puzzles could be more challenging.
-- If you're stuck, you can be told what to do, via Slippy's help system.
OVERALL: 8.8/10
