Let me tell you a story. My father has gotten into hardware modding for Game Boys, and he's picked up a couple little games purely to test his modified consoles. He put together one such mod for me - an HDMI-compliant console version of a GBA - and we used this game to test it. Presented with the choice between "Practice" and "Tournament", I opted with the latter and figured I'd run through as much as I could before I got bored.
After a generic skeet-shooting game and five variants of Megaton Punch that failed to spell out whether you wanted to go for the END of the meter or the MIDDLE of the meter, the Tournament was over. I managed to clear the game in 5 minutes, even in spite of the old TV's constant flickering.
It's a score attack game, ostensibly, so the point is to get multiple players competing with one another. But, like... then what? Why would you do that here rather than in just about any other game? If my father had gotten this game in anything besides a lot of GBA carts or with a console, he would've been ripped off.
...but it doesn't offend.
