Why does virtually every game reviewed by AVGN have to have a link to his site? Don't get me wrong, I like his reviews, but remember: he's doing videos for comedic purposes and should not be taken seriously. Should the article about the bible has a link to his Bible Games-review too or what?

And why is the game known for it's extreme difficulty? It sure is hard, but not extremely hard just because AVGN says so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.130.22.174 (talk) 16:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

There are plenty of legitimate reviews that predate the AVGN review that comment on the game's hardness and extremely steep learning curve. I'll see if I can add some references to these. I'll tell you something though, having downloaded the game and tried it, I would definitely say that it is very difficult without prior memorization, and even more so if you don't have a turbo controller or function. Memorizing the level and enemy layout helps a lot, but you're still going to spend a lot of time dying.

There are several reviews on Gamefaqs dating from 2001 to 2004 that comment on the game's difficulty, running into walls, bullets, etc. These can be used as references I think.

I stand corrected. I checked out the Gamefaqs review section and the game is indeed widely known for its difficulty. Personally, I didn't have any real problems getting through the game, but well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.130.22.174 (talk) 00:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
