Great sound design
Tons of innovation
Really linear
Pretty difficult
Oh my god was this game infuriating! It was tons of fun at first but eventually it became so f***ing difficult in the later parts of the game that I was BARELY able to slog my way through it. I have no idea how in gods name anyone could play it on hard. Maybe with a partner? Either way I liked the way it summarized the early series, but DAMN did it get cheap.
