Such a good Idea, such a great atmosphere, such terrible gameplay.
This game is a great Example for wasted potential. The first 45 minutes I felt like this game will be great. But then it gets repetitive, the controls are extremely clumsy. Also the scenes in which you could develop the feeling of "action", get interrupted by retarded Puzzles and Dialogues. For example while running from the Helicopter, you have to run as fast as you can, and after you have survived the clumsy controls, you get your chillout time while you try to aim at some random object, or dodge light beams.

Sound 8/10
Graphics 8/10
Gameplay 3/10
Controls 4/10
Story 6/10

OVA: 5,8
I won't recommend it, because for me platformers have to be outstanding in gameplay and at least good in controls. Everything else is a bonus.

I closed the game just after the helicopter scene. It's funny, I said the exact same thing, you're talking about the crate that drops after you shoot the wooden plank to drop on the control panel. It really is dome weird game design, I'm not opposed to the chase scenes but the pacing can be really weird at times. The case you specified especially, because they JUST started to make you run and they force you into a full stop, it's like gaming blue balls. The first 45 minutes definitely was best, it seemed really promising, especially once you picked up a gun. The sewers seems to be when it started to go downhill.
