I was a bit worried the difficulty might feel dated, but the level design here is so tight and fair that every death teaches you something. The hardcore structure really forces you to master each stage, and that riffing soundtrack keeps the adrenaline pumping perfectly.

The soundtrack on this disc is absolutely perfect, it really captures that arcade energy. The difficulty curve ramps up nicely and the simple mechanics keep me coming back for just one more credit.

The soundtrack absolutely rips through my speakers, and the level design is pure hardcore challenge without feeling unfair. Only wish the leaderboards were a bit more active, but that's not the game's fault.
