Myself and @Mike1988uk completed this in coop earlier.
I played the original on the mega drive but it’s not a game / series that i hold in memory as an absolute classic.
As such, I went into this as a way to break up my Animal Crossing play tome and nothing too much more.
We struggled a bit with it in parts. And only played on normal. But having replayed the first level again on manic we didn’t do too badly, so we must have improved as the game went on.
Overall it was good. We both said we didn’t think it’d be particularly memorable in 6 months time, but was nice to play as a freebie with game pass.
