When I was originally playing it on the Vita, I barely noticed a difference at all. Still, even after you waste a second adjusting, you’re getting around a lot faster than you would have in 1998. Sure, the static camera can make the analog controls a little cumbersome since moving to a new scene changes your directional reference. You no longer have to waste time turning Manny left or right.

So essentially the game thinks I'm still in the crane, even if I try to leave it. If I press up or down, the chain on the crane will lower or raise, but I still can't control Manny.Īctually, it's misleading to say that the controls don't work I can hear the crane movement noises when I press left or right, and if I try to get out of the crane with the A button Manny will say he can't get out because there's no ladder. If I press A again, he'll jankily teleport to the start of his animation and then be unresponsive again.

Something glitched out horribly because I can't get OUT of the crane anymore.

I had played it a long time ago on PC so I'm aware that the game can be kind of buggy and glitchy, but not in a game-breaking way. Just picked this game up a few days ago and wanted to show the fantastic story to my girlfriend.
