It is weird that at the time, the game was being called out for being overly frustrating. I mean, it is, but it's no where near as bad as I imagined it to be. There are issues, especially surrounding the combat, but if it were only slightly tweaked to make it more forgiving, the game would be a lot better.
It's really a shame it didn't sell so well, because I am 100% sure that with some improvements made it could become a very profitible franchise.
