It was a bit short. But then again, it might've been for the best, since it started to get repetitive.

The one thing I hate about this game is: It's too short! Oh, and you fly like 2 cm off the floor.

I'm really liking this game so far. It's not too difficult and I like that there isn't as much fighting in the other two. I love the valley of Avalar... It's so beautiful.

It's actually hard to give this game a rating. There are many things right, and many things wrong.

Can't we all just stop fighting and just state our opinions on the game?

My opinion: I'd give it a 7.6/10.
