Giana Sisters 2D is the most soulless of cash grab shovelware I have ever seen. Made even more impressive by the fact that this game wasGiana Sisters 2D is the most soulless of cash grab shovelware I have ever seen. Made even more impressive by the fact that this game was designed to capitalize on the notoriety of the original, which was itself a soulless cash grab Super Mario Bros. clone. And this game is a cheap copy of that - and a bad port of that copy no less! A clone of a clone with absolutely awful level design, no thought put into anything, cheap enemies, the graphics on this version are intentionally stretched from their original aspect ratio so that it'd fit on a 16:9 display without having to change anything else (at least that's sure as hell how they appear - the original version of this was on DS and it includes "retro levels" from the first game).The game is also riddled with bugs. It can't even do basic numbers right. Sometimes a level will simply duplicate, play twice in a row instead of one of the intended levels. When you select a level from the map there's no guarantee that you'll go to the level you selected - in world 3 when I was still caring about collecting the red crystals to get the bonus levels (that did not last long) I went back to get a crystal I missed but instead of going to the proper level it sent me to the bonus stage anyway. It CLAIMED it was the right stage, but it was the bonus level. Even the retro levels have this problem. Some of the retro levels are in the main game as well, just duplicated, but I honestly cannot tell you if that's intentional or just this "it picked the wrong level" bug. Even when going through the retro level it wouldn't display what level I was on properly. It also for some reason started you with an absurdly large score out of nowhere, instead of starting at 0.This game is incompetent at every level, and is a cheap knock-off of a cheap knock-off. Avoid it at all costs. Nobody should spend money on this game - ANY amount of money - but nobody should pirate it either because it's not worth your TIME.
