Am I the only person who finds the button mashing to be way too much in the game? Most of the levels are fine, but with the "unknown soldier" level and the one with the maggots, I have to focus entirely on my controller, ignoring the video, putting all my energy into one single finger until it's pounding that B button in a complete blur... and even then, half the time it's still not fast enough.
I've actually managed to defeat both the unknown soldier and maggot levels on separate occasions, but nine lives isn't enough for me to do them both in one go. And by the time those nine lives are exhausted, the muscles in my finger are throbbing with pain, to the point where I feel physically incapable of another attempt.
It's all the more frustrating because otherwise, the game is great: the pacing, the soundtrack, and most especially the animations are all thrilling and inventive. It's a solid example of what a QTE game should be - except for that darn button mashing.
