Topic: 3D Classics: Kid Icarus - impressions

D/l'd a while ago, but only just got round to playing this...
There's lots of good ideas in the game, but i got bogged down with the respawning enemies and the grinding required to afford items in shops, these elements really got on my nerves at first and hampered my enjoyment of the game. I'll probably stick with the game a little longer. The power-ups awarded at the end of levels help a great deal, and i at least want to beat the first boss. On my first attempt i got locked in the boss' chamber not being able to shoot, i'd been hit by the eggplant wizard's spell...
