The first message on lvl 1 suggested this won't be so easy as LM2... I was disappointed to see an extra piece on lvl 1, and then to see that all lvls are only marginally harder than the original LM2, but still easy.
Fun game but way too easy. In many levels I was left with several extra pieces, so I was probably not finding the solution thought up by the level designer.
after getting all achievements, I tried playing with full controls and after much effort getting the first 3 levels completed, and a few tries to finish lvl 4, I was convinced that full controls are a joke. Then I looked at the walkthrough and saw him using full controls and getting fast+perfect with them. Just wow
the pro swimming training was actually fun. also the arcade mode is a nice addition. but like in previous games, you can lvl up without actually doing anything
