Description: This adventure game is full of great ideas, but it's crippled by absolutely horrible controls. You're flying around on a jetpack the whole time, which is difficult enough, since you have momentum to deal with... but the button arrangement is just brutal, using both shoulder buttons as "shift" buttons to change what the rest of the buttons do. So you have to press the blue button to pick up a grenade, then the red button to activate it, then hold left trigger and hit blue to drop it. If you don't have the manual, good luck figuring it out. You can use a keyboard too, which is what the game was meant to use... but still, there are at least 20 different keys to use. On top of that, the game is very frustrating, and the enemies very obnoxious. Luckily, you can never really die, as you'll automatically transport back to your ship to heal. If you play in NTSC, you might have a hard time reading the messages that flash at the bottom of the screen. This might make things difficult at certain parts of the game. Be careful when you save your game to the NVRAM, as it takes up a lot of space.
