Great game. Had alot of fun playing through it. I'm baffled as to why it gets so much heavy criticism. Being able to create your own character is an excellent addition to the franchise, with different races, clothes, accesories and weapons to choose from. There is so much content to unlock and you always feel like you've achieved something when you complete a level, get an S rank, find all the red/ number/ moon rings, etc and are rewarded with items and medals for your character. I love the way different types of weapons (wispons) open up many alternative ways to travel through levels and I feel the game provides plenty of challenge and replay value if you start on normal difficulty and then move onto hard (especially with all the mission challenges).
