After playing 1 and 2, I like this game even more. It's just so fun. Platforming is very liberal, meaning that you are not locked into anything. There are not much pits of death around the main track, instead, there are nice decorations that give level it's identity. Controls are tight, character has weight. Story gets even more cheesy, but now it's not as edgy and doesn't attempt to be too serious. It's the point where the game finally figured out the gameplay, the story, and the identity. Though I do miss vocal themes.
