Ok. Believe the hype. Maximo is, by far, the hardest game I have on the PS2 at the moment. I played for about 2 hours tonight and wasn't even able to save it.

Did I mention you're only allowed to save after every boss battle, of which there are but 4? And that there are about 5 levels per world that you have to defeat before fighting the boss? I got through 2 levels, then died on the 3rd... repeatedly...

Ah well. It's still fun and the graphics are gorgeous. And the first level is, literally, the beginning of Ghosts N' Goblins in 3D.
