than the imminent threat.", "That's not to say that the entirety of The Time Sweeper is totally without merit, because it does bring a few fresh ideas to the table, but for the most part those

level into slow motion, etc.", "All the while, Blinx is moving around in real time.", "It's a great idea, but the implementation is painfully short and underutilized.", "Why can't I use two controls at the same time?", "Why don't more aspects of the stage encourage the player to experiment with and solve problems with these powers?", "Why doesn't the ridiculous ten minute stage time limit pause, speed up or rewind when I use my time powers?", "Why is their duration so brief, and why can't I hold more than a dozen uses at a time?", "I mean, this could've really been a fantastic experience if the time control aspect had been beefed up a little further and treated as more than just an auxiliary function of an otherwise run-of-the-mill platformer.", "The controls, too, are an undeveloped, undertested nightmare.", "Blinx himself is often sluggish to respond, especially when implementing his time controls.", "He has difficulty making a precise turn, whether on midair or on solid ground.", "He stops to briefly celebrate when gaining an item, which leaves him open to constant enemy attacks.", "He routinely moves in the direction of certain death, as though pulled by a magnetic field, whether you've instructed him to do so or not.", "He'll occasionally refuse to perform a double jump, particularly when attempting a difficult, precise leap across a gaping chasm.", "I think it's these controls that most make Blinx so mind-squashingly aggravating.", "At a glance, you'd imagine they'd be fairly difficult to screw up.", "You've got a jump button, a suction / fire button, a time control button and an analog stick to control movement.", "Plus, there had already been a long, established line of three-dimensional platformers on the market in the years before the title's release, paving the way to an ideal control experience.", "Super Mario 64 had its issues, sure, but nothing like this, and it was the trailblazer for the entire genre's jump to the world of 3D.", "It's like they had a map leading them right to the treasure and decided to forge their own path anyway.", "I can't even say I'm impressed by the graphics showcased throughout The Time Sweeper, either.", "With the exception of the lead character himsef, these are some incredibly cheesy, preschoolish character designs - they feel unfinished and hurried, less purposeful than you'd imagine (especially in contrast with Blinx himself).", "Particularly insulting is the large population of simple blobs that roam around the levels, trying in vain to bump into you and cause a fatal injury.", "Here's a finely detailed main character, with such close attention paid to his wardrobe that even the gloss of his shoes was obviously debated time and time again, and he's pitted against a set of monsters that could've sprung to life directly out of the pages of a four-year-old's sketchbook.", "Despite featuring a spoken dialog track, there's no English voice acting.", "I couldn't pinpoint the language, but my wife seems to think it's either French or some close variation of it.", "It certainly didn't sound Japanese.", "While this does add a touch of personality to the title, and it's not every day that you get a chance to hear a cat shouting something in the language of love, it all seemed really odd and out of place coming out of my television.", "Everyone's vocal personalities are so black-and-white, too, that I feel like a great chance to establish some much-needed individuality amongst the cast was lost once again here.", "The bad guys all have the same deep, gravelly, transparently evil tone, while the good guys are all bright, cheery, squeaky and high-pitched like the monkeys in Super Monkey Ball.", "It's like a parody of the games that had come before, but I won't give the developers enough credit to assume that they were doing it on purpose.", "Overall, Blinx is really just a few promising concepts thrown together in one package, strapped to the shell of a far-below-average third person platformer and unleashed upon an unsuspecting public.", "At the time of its release, it was still in need of a lot of polishing, some serious scrutiny behind closed doors and a re-evaluation of just how far some of these concepts and half-hearted character designs could be conceivably stretched without losing any quality.", "On top of that, I really don't know which audience they were targeting with it.", "The game is ridiculously difficult, which betrays the childlike demeanor that surrounds it and leads me to believe it was meant for the serious gamers out there, but so bright, kid-friendly and annoyingly cutesy that I can't imagine anyone in that demographic rushing out to the stores on release day.", "The number of spontaneous controller hurls shot through the roof during my time with Blinx, reaching near-Marvel vs.", "Capcom 2 levels with its unashamed, excruciatingly cheap hits, especially in later levels.", "I have no idea how I acquired the willpower to finish level eight.", "The game is adequately lengthy, and offers some replay value, with hidden cat medals in each stage eventually unlocking production sketches, promotional materials and the like.", "Once you start hunting for floating cat heads in those super-tough later levels, though, you'll remember why you were so happy to be finished with them in the first place.",
