Best 3D platformer on GameCube, easy.

Recuerdo pasar tardes enteras solo con el cañón de agua, así que entiendo perfectamente esa crítica a la cámara.

La maniabilité de base est excellente, c'est surtout la caméra qui plombe l'expérience par moments.

Ça me rappelle mes étés à tester chaque recoin de l'île (sans jamais tout trouver d'ailleurs).

Llevo un rato mirando el ranking y me pregunto cuánta gente vota realmente después de haberlo rejugado, porque da la sensación de que muchos puntúan de memoria, con la nostalgia hablando más que el mando en la mano.

Pareil, des après-midis entiers avec la buse à tester chaque mur (ma mère criait que le repas refroidissait).

Génial dans les niveaux ouverts, insupportable dans les phases sans buse.

Vacances chez ma tante, la GameCube tournait en boucle, ça me revient direct.

La visée avec la buse demande un temps d'adaptation réel, une fois maîtrisée les niveaux gagnent en fluidité.
