Ok...
Now here goes...
The levels more or less look too much the same for my liking although Noki bay, and of course Pianna park are certainly worth their wieght in my eyes... The bonus levels have a very good feel to them, but seem to be lacking a lot in the way of design, and are certainly oo short for what they are... all in all though I would say they are the highlights for sure. Another thing I like about them is that you lose the water pack thing and it takes on a more classic feel. The actual acts or "episodes" however seem to be lacking quite a bit in the way of emersion and difficulty, and the fact that they all resemble the one that proceeded it is sort of abuzz kill, but things like fining 30 blue coins add a lot of deapth to them none the less. So it's kinda 50/50 as far as they go. Enemies leave a LOT to be desired (as per usual) and of course Yoshi in my opinion sucks way too much too even use, and I don't unless I really really have too... they need to let him fly or something..
Graphics are very very hit and miss, but all in all not too shabby... I really really wish they took away FLUDD for more levels as it really takes away a lot of the fun value when you can simply squirt everything, and I hate the fact that they took away sooo many of Marios moves... all in all I give this game about a 6 of 10, but it's certainly the best I've played on the cube so far but I would certainly rather go back and play Mario 64 again.
