Hmm...
As a first-time Nintendo owner, maybe someone can explain the history of this title to me; why is it seen as such a major title, and why are people dashing out to buy Gamecube's to play it?
Don't get me wrong! It *is* a very good game, and I am enjoying playing it, but while it's fun, for me there's certainly nothing particularly outstanding about it.
By that I mean it is definitely a game worth owning, but - and remember, this is just my opinion - it's not a game worth specifically buying a 'cube to play.
For me, there are already better games on Gamecube that people *didn't* rush out and buy the machine to play.

Why don't you turn the hints on for one hint then turn them off again?

Wow, not content with lame first person platform jumping, we've been given the chance to have to double-jump onto moving platforms that you can only even see in lame-screen mode.
Someone give retro a parade.
K, done that, but the next room had a red door, so it didn't seem to lead to much...
Got the x-ray visor, for a reminder of where I'm up to. Help?
(Don't want hints on, as I'm looking for the bare minimum info to end the fricking backtracking...)

Is the hints when it shows the map and the room where u need to go flashes??
I never used the hints and, even though lots of back tracking was invlolved, I didn't find it annoying once.
SO did I, but I already had the space boots at that point...
There's probably a shorter route... I found one the other day.
O.K. Thanks, now I have to go all the way back, oh well better get started since it will take me ages.
I haven't got a clue mate, I'm guessing though that you can't without the jump boot things. Otherwise you could have got up to the ledge from that start of the game.
Can some1 answer my question? Any1? Hello?
