Even the most charitable observers compared the noise level that was created by turning on the console to standing next to a jet engine. If you get this game, get it on sale like I did, and don't even bother playing as ARES- Tarus is your bot.The noise factor has also been a point of contention for the XBox 260 aficionado. I've never seen a disparity between two characters in the same game this huge before. All this meant that my run as Tarus took about half the time, give or take a few minutes. His weapons, while shorter-ranged and slower then ARES', do considerably more damage. His "limit break"-type move, instead of a smart bomb like ARES, is a invulnerability shield. At least once jump segment that gave me no end of trouble with ARES can be bypassed using Tarus entirely: Though Tarus' cutscenes differ from ARES, the levels do not. ARES' unwieldy air-dash is replaced with a much simpler to use mid-air hover move, which allows you to fly around for a short duration. And let me tell you, playing Tarus is like playing a different game entirely, and a better one at that.
Then, I played Tarus, the new playable character to this version of the game. But playing it again was not nearly as fun. Nostalgia makes every game seem better I guess, because I gave that game a positive review just yesterday. I imagine I had a similar experience playing the first version of this game, but that was back in 2011 so I don't remember for sure. It's also rather difficult to avoid damage, and if not for the in-built repair ability, I probably would not have gotten anywhere. I must have wasted an hour of the two hours it took to finish the game just falling into pits. ARES' air dash move is especially difficult to use properly. Aiming and shooting is just fine thanks to the mouse, but the jumping controls are uniquely unresponsive and occasionally just fail to work at all. Asthetically, it's fine: The music is excellent and the sprite work fairly appealing. At the end of my run as ARES, I was ready to give Extinction Agenda EX a thumbs down, and maybe I still should: It's one of the jankiest run-and-gun games I have ever played. I played the original version of this game some years ago, but didn't get around to playing this version until today.
