If this title was graded on originality alone, it might have scored a 9. Otherwise, the game is short and can be beaten in one sitting. Although you can go back to each level to locate hidden gems and improve overall times, the question is - will you want to? As for the game itself, it is mostly 2D. The levels are both bizarre and entertaining. Mischief Makers is definitely addictive the first time through because you'll always want to see what strange twist the next level offers. The bosses are easy to beat, but in order to get the best score you'll need to defeat them quickly. The seven-event olympics are an excellent treat, but overall most gamers should rent Mischief Makers for the weekend.
