You can't even press B to go back on menus. You have to scroll all the way down to "back" and hit A (or the equivalent).

Hope you got it on PC. Modded Balan Wonderworld is one of the greatest games ever.

This is actually nice to hear. It always felt like something that had the potential to be one of the all-time great 3D platformers but was bungled in every possible way.

What a waste of money. You could have flushed that 1 down the toilet instead.

You bought something that was actually a front for insider trading.

What kind of mods? I can't imagine what it would take to rescue this.

I've never heard of any notable mods for Balan and the usual places have completely empty pages for the game so I'm also very curious what this is in reference to.

For context I basically just wanted to buy something because it was all gonna get thrown out anyway, but basically all the Switch games had gone and there were very few Playstation games left (there were quite a few Xbox games including good ones but I dont have an Xbox so). It was basically just online games you can get for no extra cost as part of a subscription service or in one case (Babylons Fall) you cant even play anymore. Then I saw Balan Wonderworld and was thinking that the game is notorious enough to be worth getting just to see what the fuss was all about.

For the record this is a pre-owned copy so my hard earned euro will not go towards any of Yuji Nakas crimes. I think Ill give the game a go now.

I played Chapter 1, this game is terrible and not just in that it is an unpolished buggy mess. For starters people werent kidding about the one button thing, I wasnt expecting not only would they put multiple different commands on the same button, but they would do that for all four main buttons with no difference between them. Why? Why does getting an ability take away my jump? Why does the boss have these platforms that appear on the ground when you only need to jump on him three times? Why do you need keys to unlock the abilities when the keys are right next to them in the first place? Why does the game look like this? Why does it feel so bad to play? Why do the Balan parts feel worse even though you barely do anything? Does the game seriously expect me to spend ages putting Tims into this wheel? Also whats with the dancing? The music is decent though.

Overall move over GBA Fellowship of the Ring, this may be the worst game I have ever spent money on. Im going to go back to TotK but I may keep up with this just to see.

While the game in general was pretty dull, repetitive, and buggy with boring encounters, it had a game breaking bug that froze you in one room and made it impossible to progress. IIRC there was only one save slot so if you got this bug you were done. Which I did!

If nothing else, texture swapping the title screen to say Wonderland should be a simple enough mod.
