Rewriting as my original review got deleted *note: I'm a writer so expect an in-depth review. *second note: I changed it to 3 stars after finding out the development was rushed and my being hypercritical. This game does grow on you, and once you get over the little bits mentioned below it's quite enjoyable.
I managed to finish the original a night before purchasing, and this game isn't as polished and there's a lot to be desired. It looks wonderful, the music is great, the voice acting is a very strong feature, and the animations and designs of character's are nice, in particular Gary. However, the colours are oversaturated in some areas, the lighting is off, the textures don't load fast enough, some of the camp comedy has been removed (the ham the robots used to hit players with) but has been replaced with other jokes if you're familiar to the series, the loading screens are slightly too long, you can repeatedly get hit because of no invisibility after taking damage which leads to more deaths than the original, the camera settings changed every time you changed a character at the bus stop (I ended up giving up and got used to the non-inverted controls), the mechanics are slightly clunky at first but you eventually get used to them, and the buttons for jumping and bubble bowling have swapped. There's a lot to be improved on with this game, which I think is more due to development being rushed and could be patched through updates. I also felt nauseous after a while and had to change the settings on my TV visually and needed to keep a light on, so I'm not sure if it's me or perhaps the game? Overall, is it worth it? Yes. I still believe that you'd enjoy it by giving this game a chance. Overall, I feel this game was rushed near the end and probably didn't have enough time to sort out some of these issues and isn't polished enough, however, the more I'm fiddling with it the more I seem to enjoy it. The replay value of the game is also great, and there's a multiplayer aspect which I've yet to play.
