It's a good read, but being constantly reminded how forward thinking Sega was, and how they always ended up failing started to become the theme of the book. I think that tone will make it into volume 2.
I only put in about 30 minutes playing it because Illusion of Gaia is taking up all my gaming time at the moment, but from what I've played of it, it's a pretty solid game. It feels like Rocket Knight Adventures now that I think of it.
