[Teuthida]

Never played it myself but it looks as though the whole appeal of flying about was only so nice given the state of video games when it was released; a new level of freedom?

The game is designed by Takashi Iizuka, the man responsible for killing Sonic. He came up with the role-playing aspect of the Adventure games and was the lead designer on Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, and most recently Shadow the Hedgehog. Some track record. Perhaps they should have just had him make NiGHTS 2 right away rather than destroy my favorite video game character.
