    This is one of those rare games that is so great, on so many levels, that you get butterflies in your stomach just thinking about it. [Mar 2002, p.18]

    There is no reason to jump onboard its potentially dynamic ride unless you have the time to virtually marry the game...it will also be well worth the effort.

    It all looks lush and the gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable despite the frustration, but it's not one for the casual gamer.

    Utter frustration. Every part of the controller is used, including both analog sticks, which have dual functions. It's nearly impossible to master these controls.

    Confusing controls but how is that the game's problem. the reviewers are just to supid to know how to use the controls. Great graphics, great story, and thrilling to mow down hordes of aliens.… Collapse

    This game gives you an amazing amount of control over your character. While the learning curve is steep, the rewards are great once you master them. Sprint across the ground then thrust up into the air, whip around 180 degrees and rain death upon aliens below -- thrilling! You have to get past thinking about what button to press and just think about what you want to do, and have your hands be trained to do it for you. Very satisfying if you're willing to put in the effort.… Expand

    I can understand why this game has had such polar reivews. It's got a great introspective story, in a stylish and original universe. But it does lack a certain polish in spots, and of course the control is poor. Mostly just the camera control is unintuitive. Overall I think it's a respectable game, but nothing too special.… Expand
