Side scrollers are suppossed to be hard. Why should this one be an exception. It isn't that bad. The first time I played this game, I made it to the fifth level. Looks fantastic, not for anyone born after 1980.

Alongside Loco Roco, this ranks as one of the few true must-have games on the system. In a sea of PS2 emulations, this stands out a mile. It is hard to convey just how beautiful the game looks (and sounds) and while the gameplay punishes the careless, the save system minimises the frustration.

A true hard as hell masterpiece. Great music, awsome graphics and glorious old school gameplay. This game will bring the memories of hellish nights in front of your NES/SNES trying to beat those old past games. The good thing about this is. Beating these type of games really makes you feel special! Recomended for everyone that loves a good challenge!

Looks good, sounds good, and unlike previous installments in the series you get to save and continue your game, reducing the degree to which your sanity (and possibly your PSP) will be broken during gameplay. This is a great game, but skip it if you're not interested in struggling tooth-and-nail for every inch of progress.… Expand

A fantastic entry in the series, well worth the time to play.… Expand
