I've had the game only 3 days now and have a total of 4ish hours in the game so far. 30-40 estimated mins of that have been reading the dialog/storyline (yes, so far, it looks wordy, mind you, the storyline is good for a mario game.) As far as game play goes, what I have seen so far, I have liked. The "3D" ability is new and interesting adding a twist on a mostly side scroller. I have finished the first 2 chapters out of eight (i think.) I am the type to play a game till it is completed if I enjoy it or think the next level is going to be better/harder than the one I just finished. What I wanted to know from anyone that might have played it was does it get better/hard than I have seen so far? Should I keep it and finish it or should I return it and get RE 4, Galaxy, or another game? I buy almost all my games used at GameStop and where I live you have 7 days to return them, no questions asked, for full refund. The manager of the local store told me once before, its like renting it for used price, playing it, if you like it keep it (cheaper than blockbuster charging you for one of their rental games if you never return it, or return it and make another choice.) Thanks for any input.
