I am still working my way through this, and am coming to the end of the third time period. There are around fifteen levels in each period, though, and I'm only up to Ancient Greece and Rome so far, which makes me wonder how many levels there will be in the whole game. It's not that hard - there are only a couple of places where I've lost lives more than once - and I'm up to a stash of 79 lives already, meaning that I'm not in any danger of seeing the 'game over' screen soon.
It's still enjoyable, but there are relatively few new ideas in the game, and I do feel that I've seen it before in the various platformers I've played over the past twenty-five years. Not just in other games either; Rabbids 3D has an annoying habit of repeating bits of levels, as if the designed was particularly pleased with one set of platforms so just copied-and-pasted them in again. The unskippable cut-scene every time you pick up the invincibility power-up is starting to grate as well.
And I've certainly no great desire to replay all the levels multiple times to collect trophies for speedruns and collecting all the coins and ducks. Whether I'll complete this is up the air, particularly given that the new Layton game is sitting at home in its shrinkwrap.
