It's okay I guess, but I had such high hopes, after you lot rabbited on about it, that it pales in significance to what I was expecting. It's not that good, the controls suck, the levels are designed well but confusing and it's very very fiddly.

There are no sucking controls.

Only sucking people.

*nods*



The obviousness of why they are so good becomes apparent with time, unless you're me, because I'm l337.

Heh, maybe I'll have to put Luigi's Mansion in the rental case again, to give me more time, or I may never like it.

Dont worry about it, i thought it sucked when i first played as well. Its one of those games that needs a little time. The genius of it all unfolds.

(you really appreciate this game WITHOUT a strategy guide!)

I have gotten into it a lot more but I still don't see the big appeal. Its a good game but nothing like I expected. Get a few morph ball upgrades and the game starts to get better.

Give the game time, vis-á-vis with normal FPS controls they are a little strange, ergo difficult to get used to, you will find them to be genius apropos.

The bit i found where the game really began to take off, was the first encounter with the Space Pirates in the research lab. You get locked in the room and action time. From there on it keeps getting better. Brilliant!

10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
