To me, this is one of the most underrated games ever, and I think I know why. It starts out as a 2-d side-scrolling space shooter, and we all know that there were probably 20 of those by now, so as soon as people popped it in, they took it right back out. However, if they played through, they would realize it offered so much more, and was very fun thanks to smooth controls and beatable enemies. Quite honestly, the space shooter part was the hardest.
