>> I generally like this particular formula – unfair difficulty that expects you to memorise the levels – but when you’re expecting something else it’s just frustrating.
I only really felt this in those metal cage sections of Level 5, where you have crap coming at you from random directions and you have to shoot at it before it hits you. On Medium difficulty, it’s 10% off each time you get hit, so you don’t get too many chances. And there aren’t any extra lives in the vicinity!
>> Just finished the second game. Again, it felt really short although the last level is kind of evil which added some longevity.
Really? I found Buttville (last level of EWJ1) much harder than that of EWJ2 (See Jim Run, Run Jim Run). For sure, the latter is shorter.
