Graphics-7.5 Sound-6.5 Control-7 Challenge-7.5
Level Design-6.5 Frustration-9 Fun-7 Originality-7
Overall Score-7
+ Some innovative gameplay, good bosses, hidden items, difficulty options, sometimes technically impressive (lighting and water effects), double jump
+/- Time limit, can't stand still while aiming (see Gunstar Heroes, Super Metroid, Contra: Hard Corps),
- Poor camera (too tight when jumping (it's dizzying and leads to not knowing where you'll land) and pretty loose when turning around), confusing auto-scrolling levels (new mechanics for each and they only appear once), transformation mechanics aren't well realized (they activate immediately and are only used to skip parts of the level or break some wall right in front of you), corny and generic looking character, bland art direction with a dated digitzed look on the sprites, sound effects too loud compared to the music, ugly explosions, some slowdown, some tedious vertical platforming, no auto-fire?
