    A remix of sorts that's shockingly nearly as gorgeous but tragically just as bad, if not worse in exactly the same places - character physics and collision. [Feb 2003, p.90]

    Stay far away from this game as even a rental would be grounds for a lawsuit against TDK for "cruel and unusual punishment".

    I have recently had the pleasure to play and stream this game. The gameplay is exciting and engaging, you can choose from a wide array of powerful moves to dispose of the enemies in your way or solve intricate platforming or puzzle tasks. My stream also had a lot of fun watching me do a compact playthrough of the game.

    Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone who sets their eyes upon it.    … Expand
