    Charming but overrated here.

    ArcadeMaster

    eso, exacto, decente ya es mucho decir para un juego que sigue sosteniéndose solo por su diseño de niveles.

  2. Bayer15

    I don't play it often, maybe once every couple years for an hour or two, but next to open world driving games it just feels like a completely different kind of fun that doesn't need comparing.

    A mí sí me pesa la comparación, jugué las dos sagas de chico. ¿A nadie más le pasa?

  3. yleannon

    It holds up as a platformer but the ranking makes it sound like it's competing in the same league as open world crime games, which feels off to me.

    Aaron_85

    Puede que tengas razón, aunque yo creo que precisamente por ser tan distinto merece estar ahí, aunque sea para comparar géneros.

    Replying to Aaron_85

    Pues yo también jugaba así con mis primos y aun así creo que el puesto no le hace justicia frente a otros duelos.

    Samuel_75

    No es que compitan géneros distintos, es que el ranking ya no distingue nada... debería medir otra cosa

    ¿Alguien recuerda si las carreras contra el tiempo eran tan difíciles como las recuerdo yo?

    fatima_barragan

    Sí, eran difíciles, difíciles de verdad, recuerdo tirar el mando más de una vez de la rabia.

    GlitchSniper98

    Les courses contre le temps, j'y repense encore, j'avais tout lâché pour aller défouler la manette sur GTA après.

    no entiendo la manía de comparar esto con juegos de mundo abierto tipo GTA, son experiencias tan distintas q el ranking no tiene mucho sentido pa mí, aunq el juego en sí me parece decente nada más.

    FrameKid

    yo igual me peleaba con mi hermana por el mando (creo que ella ganaba siempre) buenos recuerdos igual
