What a disappointment.  Hands down the worse game I've played this year.  Sigh.

Heard lots of bad things. Still have 2 copies. The novelty of the series is enough and now people can try it here before "wasting" their money on it.

Torrented it for myself last Thursday. Finally finished it today.  Terrible.  It tries to be so many games and succeeds at none of them.  I think the most enjoyable part was the level(s) with the monster truck, and even that eventually sucked because it just draaaagged oooooonnnn.  I wanted to like it, I knew it couldn't possibly live up to 12yrs of anticipation, but I had hoped it would at least be enjoyable.  There where sections that where just so badly designed, that I quit and came back another day.  Puzzles are great and all, but the game does an atrocious job of transitioning from "shoot everything" mode to "you are now doing a puzzle" mode.  I would wander around for 5 minutes or so, wondering if I had missed an enemy, or walked past a door, and then figure out I was supposed to be stacking barrels.
