Gundox Crit

Online Multiplayer almost requires 2 Ethernet adapters (that somehow the switch dock doesn’t come with) due to the way the game syncs data. Furthermore the movement in the game feels like you’re moving through jello. Looks pretty and decent little puzzles, the movement, especially jumps, just feels awful. This is further exacerbated by extremely limited camera space in multiplayer. The best way to combat this is to play the one character that has a glide feature, however, you’re limited to one person per character in multiplayer so that is only a solution for one player. As a multiplayer game it is hands down the worst Mario game I have ever played.

There are spoilers in this review. I watch mewtwo strikes back pretty frequently when I lose internet so I am very very familiar with the original film. Watched both one after another just to make sure I wasn't being biased in this review. In the new one the Pokémon look betteris about the only positive thing. They completely failed on the score. There is easily 7 minutes of supposed emotional scenes with no music to deliver. Mewtwos lines are very different in both emotion and actual substance. His stance in the new movie changes from the original also it seems like he can't make up his mind in this version and changes views based on the wind. While the humans aren't terrible, just not my preferred style. The most powerful lines in the original have been lost. The harbor master not doing her speech was a huge let down. They also spoil two huge twists that were present in the original during the Pokémon battle at the beginning that they just ruined in this version. They also leave gaping plot holes that you only know if you watched the original (SPOILER: Mewtwo doesn't say he's suppressing moves to prove true genetic strength during the clone battle). If they had just plucked the direct audio from the original and put the new animation over, it'd have been good. However the entire soundtrack just fails it.
