This is too hard

Whenever I play this in the third special stage, this is so difficult because there isn’t much time when you start and pretty horrible😡

It Was a waste of money !

The Game was good in the begging but the special stages where so hard and it wasn’t even worth it because the super form was goofy so goofy it is way better on ps3 and xbox360 so the game overall is just 4 out of 10 I prefer episode 2 on mobile it’s way better please make it like it was on xbox360 please update
