Cotton had a difficult transition to 3D. I mean, technically, it destroyed the franchise forever that's it game over bye bye. The last Cotton game is a somewhat decent rail shooter that has some problems. For example the difficulty of seeing what you have ahead due to the annoying position of your character on the screen makes the game a not so pleasant experience. Also this new format makes you miss the great spectacle, fluidity and speed of previous Cotton games. Even if it still looks pretty good, it is incomparable with its predecessors. This is a shame because the presentation with all those anime cutscenes is pretty cute and this is a great and fun series after all... Fuck, they just should have left it in 2D.

I feel like this probably one of the few games I wanna joke about this game being underrated because Cotton fans hate this one and......................................
I see why, they hate this one
I guess the only saving grace is the Cutscenes which is more entertaining than the game itself.

But if you want a game like this just Play Panorama or Cotton 2 + Boomerang or hell play games that came out around the time like Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact which was released on the same system and came out the past year(1999) or even Sin and Punishment which came out months and months after this game In the same year (2000).
