Pretty, but too difficult to recommend.
Played this when I was a kid and while the art design is inspired, the level design and overall difficulty borders on masochistic. I could never get past the first half-dozen levels, because the gameplay is just unrelentingly brutal and therefore not very fun. Everything kills you, everything happens without context and there is little to no difficulty curve. 10 years later, I've played hundreds of games including ones which are difficult yet fair and this one stays the same. Three stars because the level editor is easy and a lot of fun-- you can make your own, fair, playable levels to wash away the taste of cheapness that comes from enduring the campaign. Recommended as a history lesson on how many old games were inviting but inaccessible at the same time. Even the great artists had to start somewhere, fortunately it seems Ansel learned his lesson with this one and apologized to the gaming community with Beyond Good & Evil.
