so far,i'm really liking this game.its funny,it has nice characters,nice artwork and an interesting story.my only real issue with the game is the mini games,specifically the sword slashing ones like the one from the sword training.i found them to be very difficult.they leave little margin for error,wich forces me to skip anything that involves that type of mini game because it's impossible for me to beat,wich sometimes forces me to go down a different road in the game.it would be nice if we were given the option to either play these mini games or skip them.that way we don't have to skip anything that might unlock a special event,scene,or gallery image.
