It's biggest sin was terrible timing. It's second biggest sin was being a mostly unremarkable mess. Some fun core combat and a few standout missions saves this from being any worse. By no means a necessary game, but you can certainly get some fun out of it.

I don't really think this is that bad in concept, pretty much like a Four Swords version of Metroid, only issue is like half the missions suck, But I mean the others are mostly pretty decent, and it let's you play alone which is neat.
