I would absolutely love to give this game a higher score but I can't due to it's jank, a really bad padding section, and multiple difficulty spikes. Other than that this is one of the most unique games I've played and I highly recommend everyone to play it. The story was sublime and just so damn cool. With every upgrade you got you felt more like some sort of superhero. When the combat works it works. It's fun fighting against a couple of enemies at a time. It's just when there's several enemies on the screen it's hard to play because of how easy you can get knocked down by an enemy you didn't see. But when the stars align and you fight the enemies properly you feel like a badass lol. The graphics were good for a 2004 game and the art direction was amazing. I really wish this game got a sequel that would've fleshed out and polished this game's general idea and design.
