This game has a lot of potential but there's a lot about it that's just poorly designed. The level design is mostly a step back from X2, some collectibles are really annoying to find, and there's way too much backtracking for no reason if you want to get anything. The ride armor is a cool idea, but the stages don't make much use of it and you have to beat at least 2 stages before you can even unlock it. One thing that I like is the pink capsules that can upgrade a certain piece of armor and give you really fun perks, and the limitation that you can only have one at a time (unless you find the secret gold armor at the end) adds a bit of replay value. I got to the first sigma stage, but didn't feel compelled to play past that. Still a good time, but has a lot of annoying design choices and lots of missed potential.
