One of my favourite childhood classics remastered ♥️ Got this and Simpsons Hit & Run along with my first own PS2 and its always stuck with me since. The nostalgia definitely has an impact on how I view this game but honestly 10/10 for a cartoony platformer from the 2000s ✌🏼♥️

Love it, a favourite from childhood. If they could just get the cutscenes/comics working for Steam Deck as afaik that's the only problem it has on that platform then it would be perfect.
