One annoying item is that jumping and interacting with the environment share the same button (X), and there are moments when you can accidentally travel to another screen while simply attempting to execute a jump.

There were some nitpicks along the way, however. Picking up supplies is done with the triangle button, which works well during exploration, but if you need to scoop up some ammo that’s near a bottle during a fight you may grab the bottle instead.

The Jets’ selection of Morrissey this early surprised many, but the 6’0″, 175-pound blueliner has quietly established himself as a top prospect with his skating skills and superior mobility. He’s got some mad offensive skills from the point (as you can see in the video below), so don’t sleep on this kid.

This is a game that does an excellent job of working around the 3DS’ limitations. Conversations feature crisp and vibrant character models. The game employs talking heads for these, yet thanks to great writing and voice acting this never took me out of the experience.
