    • “While the plot is thin and predictable, the humor and energy keep it entertaining.”
    • “Because there are no checkpoints, no save points, and nothing, time trials are just that—time trials, not a campaign or story. This is not the way it should be, as this is a game with trolleys. Just make it fun and easy to progress through the campaign without racing yourself 24/7.”
    • “I like this game, and I've gotten gold or better on all missions, but it's a serious test of patience.”
