Generally I kept my ammo crates spread evenly amongst the members of the team, because that's how I tend to play it, never knowing which one of my characters will have to face that next big boss. As such, Juno didn't end up with over a bajillion of any specific kind of ammo for Mizar. Still, the challenge for me wasn't hitting him, it was doing it WHILE avoiding damage, considering how much he can deal if you don't dodge each and every attack. I'll just say this. Rare has an annoying habit of saving too much progress. I am used to being able to fight the last boss over and over again in a game. It's a little annoying that it saved so that I couldn't do that. Had I known that, I would have made another save file for before the fight. No matter though, it's fun enough to work back to him in a new game. I'm yet another person who never had a problem with frame rates or slowdown in the game. Well, actually come to think of it, there were times when a LOT of enemies were on screen that things would get sluggish, but I tended to clean up the mess myself and things went back to normal. Wasn't game killing in any sense nor did it detract in any way from the overall experience. The only problem I can think of was the whole scavenger hunt for absolutely everything before you could beat the game. Me? I enjoy doing those sorts of things anyway, but it certainly would have been nice for a lot of players to be able to decide to go straight to Mizar without the tribal hunt. Next game I'm going to go for 0 tribal heads. So far each game I've played I've managed to accidently gain a tribal head each game I've played with at least one character... poor guys...
Anyway, PD, as I've stated before, I didn't really have a problem with the frame rates in that game, generally because it actually played smoother than GE, and when it came to 3D games, as one can expect, that's the only thing I had as refference. Fortunatly, I'm able to go back to the old games without the newer graphics spoiling me against the old stuff forever. Unfortunatly, I certainly notice the slowdown now more than ever.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
