i recommend this game because the mechanics are super rich, and a really fun time. i think they did something really cool here, and i loved having all my little frankensteined animals follow me around and make little noises. i also loved the world design and soundtrack a lot, too. however, the narrative and vocal direction left a lot to be desired for me. they're VERY dated, which makes sense since it's 11 years…

lovely voice actors sell the entire story, and a pretty fun puzzle game is here too.

It's amazing, its awesome, it's one of the most unique things I'ved every played. The story is good, the meta commentary is enjoyable.... aaaaaand it crashes and burns. The game is too short and leaves you longing for more. And on the final bout of the game they scrap it all and turn it into a mario maker.
