What players say
This is one good game. Characters are awesome, nice, and funny. Like the little gags while maintaining the story from going off the rails too much. The story is very nice. Still the strongest point is the characters. Gameplay beat my expectations. Bosses were very fun and creative. Although some of the music were a major miss for me. There were so many more good and fantastic music I just had to buy the soundtrack...
