M&S Olympics might have been a success but that doesnt make it less of a shit game, point invalidated.
Having played both a single MM game, and a single MMBN game, both admittedly for not very long, at this point I prefer the MMBN series.
What I played of...whichever MM game it was I played, felt like it was a horrible mesh of a platformer and a sidescrolling shooter, and the overall experience for me was all of the frustrations and none of the enjoyable aspects of either genre.
