This is kind of the problem I had with it; or at least this is what didn't work for me. It all felt so calculated and airless and stiff. It's pretty much the only game in the number series that doesn't have any of its own inspiration to be different and do its own thing, on its own terms (for better or worse). To me that just sucked all the fun out.
