I felt Meat Circus was more annoying than fun and it seemed to ignore the spirit of the rest of the game. Every level up to that point had a central point of exploring. I liked hunting around through the camp trying to find arrowheads or psi cards or simply trying to find each camper and hear more bizarre dialogue. I liked tromping through a city like Godzilla, to going through an opera house, to running in the streets of a Spanish village while keeping an eye out for the bull, to walking through the neighborhood of the milkman.
Then I get to the Meat Circus. The vastness and exploration is gone. What was up to that point taking platform elements and turning them on it's head, I was left with a traditional platform level. The enjoyment disappears when I have to escort an annoying young Oly and then a water level.
