I have to say that I prefer MO and SW a heck of a lot more that the 1st two. It's not that they were bad games or anything it was just the "one hit and die" thing that runed the fun factor for me. hold down the right d pad button a fraction too long and your sloggie chow. Then it is back to the beginning of the level/ save point. After missing the same spot over and over and over.... well, lets just say my poor controller suffered from thrown-into-the-wall-too-many-times syndrome
. At least in the newer games a slight error didn't cost you your life.
