This game is one of my favorite games. The gameplay is incredible unique and offers multible ways to solve a problem, you have 30 seconds to defeat the "boss" you get to rewind but only if your careful and paying attention to the time. the soundtrack (game, what game? your telling me you DON'T just stay in the main menu listening to the BANGER of the song) it is sooo good i'd buy just for the soundtrack while...

Really fun and interesting game. Make sure to play with retro visuals as not only are the redrawn graphics bad, they won't let you play the full versions of modes other than Hero 30. Also, make sure to do every mode in order. There's more story than you would expect from the initially goofy premise.
