Music and comedy take center stage for ToeJam & Earl as they have this wacky adventure trying to piece together their spaceship. Funky riffs of jazzy bass and percussion is amoung the best in gaming soundtrack history. There are a number of wacko villain encounters, weird power-ups, and surprising pitfalls. Well-crafted ending gives a great sense of accomplishment. 2-Player mode really makes this twice the fun.
For what it is, there's really just too many levels to grind, especially when you're getting swarmed by baddies and literally fall to the previous level. Even without acrophobia, the teetering and bumping knocking the character onto the lower ground can be very frustrating. Pacing feels like it slows to a crawl, encounters harassing, "I just want to be done!" is more of a work related plea rather than a gaming one.
