But I suppose anything with single digits is bound to look bad. As it should! If my scale were a simple two-value "Good" vs "Bad," anything with single digit scores would fall into the latter. So I guess I'm ok with people having that impression.LordChozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582442827469876541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471018710997393557.post-39796740716979499142009-08-12T00:31:01.043-04:002009-08-12T00:31:01.043-04:00Ouch.

Often into pits, although occasionally they were more merciful and only launched you into bees.<br /><br />Like I said, a decent portion of the game is good platforming, and occasionally even the little twists are enjoyable. The level where you have to outrun millstones comes to mind as a reasonable challenge while still being enjoyable. But when such a substantial portion of the game is just bad level design, that's hard to accept. Remember, it's all about how much fun the game is to play, and if a few really atrocious levels are destroying the experience for you, that does a lot more harm than 10 levels of moderately good platforming will do good. Make sense?LordChozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582442827469876541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471018710997393557.post-87823701317753192002009-08-08T14:43:02.204-04:002009-08-08T14:43:02.204-04:00I thought that this one was really good when I pla...I thought that this one was really good when I played through it. One of the gripes that I have however, is the ice levels where there are red and blue ropes. The red ones shoot you down and the blue ones up or something dumb. It frustrated me to no end. I don't think that it deserved a 9/20 though. I always thought it was better than that...and I just played through it about a month ago...oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
