much more difficult than 2, a little more difficult than 1, and still a very fun game all around.
there's a bit of a stronger focus on narrative with the introduction of proto man and some cute cutscenes (now with dialogue!) to expand dr light's character in particular. the ability to slide is a great and satisfying addition to the series, as is the appearance of rush to allow for some more creative ways to traverse the stages. the game drags a little towards the end and the wily stages are so easy they can be beaten on your first attempt, but otherwise this is a very fun game.
