Fairly original
Decent graphics and display for GBC
Far too linear
Very difficult in parts
In no way replay worthy
A very mixed bag of stuff: on the one hand, the presentation and story were surprisingly good for a GBC game, very in depth. Obviously not as good as the PSX MGS, but closer than I expected. On the other hand, this game was STUPIDLY hard, yet somehow sparse at the same time. In the end, I had to cheat a little at the VERY end because it was going to force me to go through the end part OVER and OVER, but it’s done.
