Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
And the "Protagonist Who Needs to Shut the Fuck Up" Award goes to... But I digress, even in spite of its occasional faults you can consider me charmed. A nifty, cute little side-scroller with snappy controls and a very fair challenge (mostly) - the climb-on-walls mechanic in particular is inventive, responsive (again... mostly), and incredibly satisfying to use. Granted you've still got the occasional wonky hit box, bullshit death, and a pretty crummy first boss, and I still think the 3DO port is superior - I mean what the fuck is up with the terrible password system in this version? Saving is totally non-existent, and when you do get a password it doesn't actually even retain all of your hard-earned progress up to that point. Plus the comedy runs at about a 1:9 funny-to-not-funny ratio and there's no way to exit a level from the menu. Still, this is really fun to play and is well designed overall - definitely better than your Bubsies, for instance. My hands were sweating during that final boss, the special stages are capital T terrible though.
