Super Meat Boy Review (Jackson =D)
Just another negative review on the pile to reduce the score and build some more awareness: DLC is completely broken. Having it installed will corrupt your save file and permanently ruin it. Levels have been left in random states of completed and uncompleted, bandage amounts are all over the place, completion percentage is screwed.
The developers clearly have no intention of ever fixing this, given how they just stick it on a 90% sale every so often to snag clueless buyers instead. Fucking pathetic behaviour.
Mode itself is pretty entertaining, Bandages allowing for level skips is a really smart idea that adds some strategy and risk to an otherwise standard race. At its core it's still the same rapid paced Meat Boy, but the competitive element certainly ramps up the tension. Everything's more fun with friends after all.
All in all, grab it for pennies on an inevitable 90% sale if you have friends and a separate device to play on, isolated from your main save like me. Don't even bother if you have any interest in still playing the game otherwise.
The Team Meat that made this game originally is clearly dead.
