Disappointing...
Perhaps I've come to expect too much... This game is no doubt fun, if tedious at times, but it's plagued by odd problems...
First, the guards hit you pretty much automatically when they get it in their mind to try, even if you're over their head or six feet away from them. The mechanic of making the guard follow you into a trap seems to never work again, which is unfortunate.
When you first encounter the hooks it seems completely impossible, and I don't think I could get past it with any real consistancy... The rolling is odd, since once you start rolling, you can roll standing still or going backwards. There are some perspective issues with the early spiked ceiling tiles...
It seems that once you grin you can't do anything else until you move left or right... I've completed jumps onto moving platforms only to die... Length of press jumping is kinda out of use, but I don't mind that too much...
Passwords for loading... Well, I prefer the autosave style, and it seems the passwords are case sensitive, which is annoying given that the font doesn't seem to be.
