Nintendo Power made this seem like such a big deal but it's like a proto-Bayonetta vertical slice. At sub-2h, even then, it manages to reuse entire levels and bosses 2, 3 times in alternating order.

I thought it was unvoiced but no, the two cutscenes it has, have ... voices? But there's all these interspersed dialogue sessions that are just silent?

It feels like it needs just a touch more polish to feel really good — as it stands it feels clunky, tank-like, with occasional moments of grace. The animations are amazing. There is also almost a story. That is PN03. Now I can go tell 13 year old me.
