Entertaining.
This is my first time playing these games, so my review cannot have a comparison of this to the other ones. That being said, I enjoyed this game a lot. The rise in difficulty as the levels progressed was on a good scale. Every time I thought the next level might be like the last, you switched it up and added a different strategy, which kept things moving in a good pace. It was very entertaining getting the different characters, and figuring out the best way to use them. This has a decent replay value, as I know I will be going back through and trying to get all of the gold scores.
Overall very enjoyable game, with great gameplay.
