A terrific game that you're guaranteed to enjoy!

The Good
What did I like? Oh boy, 6 world's, 8 levels in each world, lots of cool new bad guys in each world and a boss on the eighth level of each world. Set bombs out and blow up your enemies. Die and you get a password, which will take you back to the level you died on. Get power-ups, like roller skates, which make you move faster, flame icons, which make your bombs bigger, the abilities to punch and kick your bombs and to get time bombs which go off when you want them to. The end boss is really awesome and the music is quite good, especially the ending music! The controls are really simple and easy. You can play the story mode by yourself or with a friend. But wait, that's not all! In addition to all of the above there's also a Battle Mode where you get to chose an arena and compete in a battle between you and up to three other friends and/or computer player's!

The Bad
After you get good enough at it you can beat the story mode in one sitting easily - it takes about 2 hours. But it's still fun and Battle Mode is always fun. Also, although overall the music is good a few of the songs can drive you mad after a while.

The Bottom Line
Just get it already, if you don't already have it, trust me, it's awesome!
