I was lukewarm at first. The earlier half of this game is pretty uninteresting. Luckily, that makes it pretty short. Once the second half starts, the game really ups the difficulty, makes the checkpoints more brutal, and has some really great encounters. Oltanis, Gemlik Base and Veldin were the standout levels here. The hoverboarding mini-games were also fun to go for high-scores in, with a cool trick system that could have been its own game if it there were more tracks. It also has an excellent final boss that really expects you to perform well. I recommend this one.
