Fun game. Pretty tough in some parts (fuck that For Pete's Sake level, ARRRGHH) but great.

I don't think I've played it in 25 years, but I bought it in an Xbox sale

The rental-difficulty-spike levels (is there a better term for this?) take it down a notch. I don't think I'd rate it higher than a 3.5 though. To me it's one of those games that doesn't really have fun gameplay but does everything else well enough that it doesn't really matter. The controls are bad and the platforming is lacking but the excellent animation and unique humor are all you'll remember anyway.

Loved the aesthetic, but goddamn those underwater levels in that machine were brutally hard.

Best part was the lawyer level.

4. Had a lot of fun with it as a kid.
