This game was my childhood. I went back to replay it recently and it still holds up. The controls take a little time to get used to and depth perception can be an issue at times but the gameplay is great with multiple moves and abilities to master, awe inspiring environments (some of my favorites are: cosmic cove, cloudy court, fluffy bluff, and honeybloom), catchy and creative music (as well as some A+ orchestral scores), and a multitude of unique bossfights. some galaxies are super gimicky and annoying (the bird levels come to mind) but they are very few and far between. if you have the time and money pick this one up. 9/10

playing through this one right now it's pretty good but kinda clunky. edit: finished it in June. i stand by the controls being kinda clunky and some bossfights being way too difficult (Hind D, Metal gear REX) and a couple cutscenes drag on too long (the one after rescuing kenneth baker comes to mind) but overall this game is spectacular featuring a large array of weapons, interesting characters who you can relate to, superb voice acting, and a great story that keeps you engaged all the way through to the beautiful ending. 8/10.
