I'm a really big fan of the tv series so I thought that I might be a fan of the game too. The game was fun, and compared to other games I've played based on tv series, it's the best. Yet, there was something missing. I don't know what it was though. There just wasn't... enough. And the boss battles were pathetic. They ended unclearly and very lamely (especially the main boss). Despite all of this, the ending was fun and the game was worth while.
