sorry chap, telling it like it is.
the mechanics are completely borked, the level design is shit, the graphics are a pastel nightmare, the voices are a trainwreck, not a damn thing went right with that game.
it's like the antithesis of MMX4.
i am prepared to have a pistol duel over this subject, sir.
I disagree with everything you said minus the voices. The level design was top notch, the music was fantastic, the graphics and the range of colors for the sprites were great, and the bosses were awesome (using thunder claw to repel grenade mans grenades back at him unlocks his inner masochist) It was a fantastic game that for some reason people bitch and complain about the difficulty of the snowboard stage.
So yes, pistols at dawn good sir.
