I won't buy it because I can't stand the art.

I purchased this at the same time as the DS Lite for the full $30. No regrets.
Maybe someone here can answer this question..
I beat the game and went back and got all the treasures thinking I'd get the code to use the lock thingy in the training level, but no dice. However I did found all the codes online. Is there no way to obtain these codes in the game or what? I kind of wanted the satisfaction of having done it myself but I can't see any way to get any of the codes in-game..

It pays to be a Best Buy Rewards Zone memeber. Hehe.

yeah, really. why have codes if the only way to get them is to find out on the Internet? To have codes that unlock other codes is retarded enough, but then you have to figure them out by random? idiotic.The Mighty Schwein said:

I guess that confirms that. Thanks.
They missed a nice chance to use the rumble on the tumbling number locks there. They could have made it so the game rumbles a bit more when you enter the correct number.. that would have been kind of cool.
My only assumption is that these codes were part of ads for the game or part of the japanese web site somehow (they sure as hell aren't on the american site), thus why you can't find them out in game.
Alright, 100% complete. The secret levels were more enjoyable than the normal levels (though the secret prison level's stealth portion pissed me off -- I spent hours on it before realizing blocks that looked solid actually could be passed through). I guess I enjoyed the game, but for every great moment there was an equally irritating moment.
Actually, boss complaints aside, jiji's review seems spot-on.
Gunstar Super Heroes was waaay more fun, but maybe that was the nostalgia. At least it didn't have sluggish controls! As far as "non-standard" platformers go, I thought King of Swing was great (although the framerate was probably 30 fps, at least it was locked).

I was glad to see this bumped. This is an incredible game. I wish the idiots who hate it would go back to gamefaqs and quit polluting this forum with noxious retard fumes.
No, I'm dead serious. The game rocks, but the framerate sucks. There are very few side scrollers out there running at such a framerate and it's always shocking and disappointing when they show up. I forgave Metal Slug, though, and I can forgive this...mj1108 said:

It won't. The secret levels are pretty great, though, if you're up to Area 4 already, might as well stick it out to play some of those.
This is a great thread. I've been really happy to see people honestly expressing opinions on both sides of the spectrum. It confirms my feelings on the game, which is that it's a mixed bag. It ought to be divisive and not universally accepted. And no I won't "go back to Gamefaqs" just because I refuse to auto-buy into the GAF hive-mind mentality on this one.
Yah, it's really samey, and that god awful third gear music HELLO stop doing that!
Not to mention the clever boss battles -- playing hot potato with MISSILES OOO WEE
But I ain't gonna hate it all the way, it's playable, much like a Kirby game. BUT FOR ****S SAKE STOP HYPING THESE THINGS -- would YOU hype a Kirby title? OH THATS RIGHT YOU WOULDNT
duh duh duh drill snoozer

Drill Dozer is fantastic. Definately one of the best 2D platformers I've played in a long time.
Got it at BB for $9.99 because of GAF. I'm very satisfied. The game is a little clunky and rough around the edges, but it makes me feel like I'm playing an NES platformer again for some reason. Addicting, challenging and fun. Granted, it may be challenging because I haven't bought any energy power ups. I was initially saving my money for better items, but now I'm doing it because I prefer the challenge.

I'm in with the Drill Dozer hate. The game IS fun but it's slow as all hell and forces you to go through awkward moments of bullshit when dealing with flying or swimming mechanics. THAT IS NOT FUN, BEING CHALLENGING MEANS INVENTING NEW AND UNIQUE LEVEL OBSTACLES WITHOUT ****ING YOU OVER IN THE CONTROLS DEPARTMENT. It's definitely a good buy at $10 though.
Plus the vibrating motor makes more sound than it vibrates.
