This is one of the better action games of its time. It offers great gameplay to the player, with some of the best designed levels ever seen in a videogame, good control, quite some challenge and a great sense of freedom.
It would have only been a good game if its highlights stopped here, but the truth is this game offers much more, specially in terms of aesthetics and overall style. This game pioneered the cel-shading technique to graphics, which give the game a somewhat cartoony feel without having to renounce to full 3D graphics.
Finally, the soundtrack is also top-notch, including a big selection of great music of quite a good range of styles, but without losing any of the personality of the game. This game was not a big seller, but I feel very few people could really explain why.
