This game was certainly revolutionary; and still is a unique game. The game play and rotoscoped animations were really unheard of when it came out. However, this is also an old school platformer designed around advancement through trial and error, often without much feedback. You will die a lot. You will replay areas a lot. This is not necessarily a criticism as many old school arcade games were like this (fond memories of Gouls n Ghosts here). So, if trial and error with lots of replay is your thing, then this game is one you should definitely play. If you want a similar game play experience without the so much of the frustration that comes with trial and error replay, then check out Flashback. It came out a year later and is a much more accessible platformer.
