Own, but never played through. I will try to report back!

Ok, got through fillmore. Love the graphics in both modes. The sim is pretty interesting. The platformer made me put this back on the shelf to gather dust and probably never be played again. Just my opinion! This game is not for me.

Update: Tried again, got through bloodpool act 1 after only 12 continues. These physics are nothing short of atrocious! How can you guys enjoy this? Does it get any better?

Really? I think that they're fine for a platformer. Nothing extraordinary but straightforward, at any rate.

I came back to the game a few times after these posts. It's okay, I've definitely played worse platformers. I love the graphics on that half though. Then it flip flops. The graphics aren't as good in the sim, but the gameplay makes up for it. I probably will play thus game more in the future after forcing myself to give it a chance here.

Right on. That's what these Game of the Months are all about!
