While from a glance this looks pretty impressive for the time, it finds itself crushed under its ambitions and the end result is a total trainwreck. There are three different types of levels, one for each character, but each of them plays completely laughably. Rita and Bronski control like wading through cement, while Marsh is so absurdly erratic that his levels might possibly be the worst shooter levels I've played in a video game. Every time I was in a Marsh level I felt like I was dying.

Also, the game is over two hours long and these levels are only padded out by long cutscenes that use a lot of the same animations as each other. It's so sluggish. "Sluggish" is probably the best word for this game as a whole. It would be more fun to watch an actual slug.
