I prefered the villains over the allies in this game. Mimi was too adorably evil, Dimentio ruled, and O'Chunks was you're stereotypical musclehead with a foreign accent. What was it, scottish, irish, austrian?
I would've liked it if the connection between Count Bleck and Tippi didn't become completely obvious halfway through the game.
Oh, and the retconned Merl-people bugged me too.
