However. miles of swamp, desert, and snow and one bear of an adventure stand in their way.

Oh sure, another platformer with a bird backpack that everyone calls a masterpiece. Fine, it mostly earns it.

The camera fighting the geometry is the one thing that really shows its age, I noticed that again replaying it with my nephew last month.
Elmer_2002
Fine my foot, this thing wins 70% of its duels, ppl can call it whatever they want honestly.

camera's rough by todays standards, controls still hold up tho, honestly a fair trade

La cámara efectivamente envejeció mal, y eso me hace pensar que el sistema de duelos no mide bien estas cosas.

Me and my roommate always end up bringing this one up whenever Mario 64 comes on the TV, different vibe entirely.
