Over-hyped, but still very enjoyable.
Graphics: Very cartoony, but fitting. Graphics aren't really important in a game like this, but they get the job done.
Sound: Upbeat and Catchy. Sets the tone for the atmosphere and improves the overall feel of the game.
Gameplay: If anything, this is a sandbox game and buried in that sandbox lies a puzzle game. There is a substantial amount of fun to be had with the plethora of items at your disposal. The controls are a little awkward. You may have trouble controlling little Maxwell as he exaggerates commands a little. (IE- You may tap on a certain point and he runs too far and falls into the water)
Replay Value: Over 200 re-playable levels and a great level editor. do the math.
The Bottom Line: This game, while plagued with minor control issues, is a very well developed and thought out game. I recommend it to anybody who likes puzzle or sandbox games, and/or just wants a game they can screw around in.
