I had mixed feelings about Star Fox 64 at the time and I imagine I'll have mixed feelings about this one as well. I bought it anyway. I think I just want a new Wii U game...
Thank you, Dan! I now understand this game. I don't think I even figured out that you could use cross walks when I rented it as a kid and thought this was an actual Mario game. I may of enjoyed this if it wasn't impenetrable to me at the time.
@whitegreyblack I don't think every Bombastica has to necessarily follow the same formula. This one was particularly compelling to me because he had a similar confusing history with the game as I did. It was interesting to watch Dan go from that place of ignorance to piece together how the game worked. Maybe watching Patrick play his Mario Maker levels gave Dan the confidence to return to this game and conquer it.
In the end this video shows off everything we need to see about the game to understand how it plays and Dan provides a perspective that illustrates why this game has a particularly poor reputation. I thought this was a great Bombastica.
Canadian chiming in to say I got my copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 from a box of cereal. I like a few Rush and Skynyrd songs quite a bit, but not super nuts over either band. I think I've only heard of these obsessive Rush fans from the even more obsessive and common Rush haters.
It's still pretty crazy that the PS4 is more expensive then the $400 CAD launch price, but at least this is something. Coming from a Canadian who canceled his preorder to wait for more games, a price drop and/or a redesign.
