Having watched that show during my younger years, I was excited when a movie based on the franchise came to cinemas this year. Sadly, the movie turned out to be a complete waste of time and an over-the-top production of a much cherished show. So naturally when the video game was released, I wasn't expecting anything great either, and sure enough I had little joy playing this title."
