Whatever issue this got its slew of negative reviews seems to be fixed now. I played and beat this game without any issues or jank. In fact, it ran very smoothly. The game is interesting and worth the cheap price if circa 1990 action games are your thing. For it's time, it's a step above the norm graphically, although the mechanics can feel clunky at times - especially where some platforming is needed. Enemies can also be annoying, but that's more a product of this game's era and not so much the design itself. All in all, not a bad game for what it is and in some ways it's a step above the norm.
