I give it an A for effort. The visual style, and the novelty of a first person shooter was interesting, I'm just not sure such a genre has anywhere to go. It seems almost as if it was entirely played out in that game alone. And frankly there are many times when you encounter situations that make you say, "hey, there is a reason that first person isn't a perspective that platformers use." Still it did keep those moments to more than a minimum than I would have expected. Then again maybe I just need to play it again and really get the controls into my head. It did have a sort of Portal aspect to it, in that it forced you to see terrain in a first person view in a way very different than you are used to.
