One of the worst entries in the series. In regards to map design it is largely bad, Book 1 suffered far too many compromises to be worth playing over the original NES version or the Shadow Dragon remake, while Book 2 is brainlessly easy, sluggish, and completely inferior to New Mystery.
Dropped at Chapter 3. Fuck that map.

As we all know, this is where the ROM hacking scene peaked. No hack can compare to this. Give up.
Jokes aside, while it does suffer from a ridiculous plot and nonsensical chapter design, I don't think it's nearly as bad as everyone gives it credit for. It's a frustrating experience most of the time, but for me I found enjoyment regardless.
Play the sequel, Sun God's Wrath. I haven't gotten to it but from what I've heard it's leaps and bounds above the quality of Corrupt Theocracy.

A steep downgrade to Ruby and Sapphire. While it does contain the refinements of newer generations and ways to amend the tedium present in the GBA games, it is lacking notable amounts of content and the difficulty has largely taken a nose dive, making the game feel brainless from the fourth Gym badge onwards.
