Gunvalkyrie: I am deeply saddened

Over my collective years of playing video games, I own an Odyssey2 to give you a clue; I have noticed a growing trend in recent years. That trend is that eye candy is substituted for substance. For example, Medal Gear Solid, both 1 and 2, plays like a choose-your-own-adventure book. It simply is not challenging or fun to play. I have never completed either of the games in that series, for I found them insulting to my gaming intelligence and skill. All is not lost though, for there are games that breathe life back into the dying soul of the gaming industry. These games bring back the joy, excitement, and creativity of video games. One such game is GUNVALKYRIE. Playing GUNVALKYRIE is like unwrapping a Christmas present for the first time. You admire the pretty package, but once opened you find it contains wonders beyond your imagination. Make no mistake though; GUNVALKYRIE is not a Christmas present for everyone. It is very hard for those who do not possess the reflexes, situational awareness, and ability to think ahead. Which seems to be the fate that has befallen the GamePro reviewer. For the rest of us though, we get a game that keeps us on our toes and brings a sweat to our brow. The only downside to GUNVALKYRIE is when it is over. As for the many complaints about the control scheme, there is a reason why we don't let children drive cars. I hope SEGA does not tamper with the next installment of GUNVALKYRIE and make it playable to those who lack the skill to master it. I personally thank SEGA for giving me the chance to play GUNVALKARYRIE. For the love of the game, keep up the good work SEGA.
