What players say
Do yourself a favor and spend the bucks on another game. Yes, the game has many positive reviews but just take a look at the achievement stats and you will see that most players (around 80% at the time when I wrote this review) haven't even completed the second act. The game has a unique gameplay mechanic and art style, but that's all there is. Most of the levels are pretty much the same and said mechanic gets stale...
