    Finally got 100% in this last night (just in time to trade against Fire Emblem today).

    The story was complete nonsense (I'm still not totally sure who's related to who, and I don't care) but the game mechanics were sound, boss battles were good, it was fun to play and the music was excellent.

    I would have preferred if there was more interaction between the different chapters (like one character unblocking something to open a new path for another character). There was scope for some great puzzles there, but the different chapters were completely separate (tied together by a cut-scene at the end of each).

    Just under 15 hours on the clock, and the extra one minute cut scene unlocked at 100% completion wasn't really worth it.

    Still, I'd give it a solid 7/10 rating. Some reviews were unfairly harsh.

    The 3DS one is 2D (with a 3D engine).

    It allows for nice camera work during key sequences (the approach to the final boss is very cool).

    Robert Carlyle does some voice work in this one too.
