Solid game, that's fundamentally flawed – Gatecrasher Review

As can be gathered by the majority of other reviews, the positives of this game are quite clear, it's beautiful, has focused, quick, accessible game play and feels great to play in general. However, there is a major flaw that most people seem to fail in addressing, and unfortunately it nearly ruins the game and that's the simple fact that it is clear the game was not intended to extend much past level 5. This results in gameplay that not only becomes very suddenly unreasonably difficult, but will at times make the required maneuvers impossible. Add on top of this, that the game does not allow you to practice certain level difficulties and the game at this point is essentially reduced to an exceptionally boring grind of levels 1-5 (which are really easy) so I can get to level 6 which is the one I need to work on, but level 6 is clearly designed in an impossible manner to get past. I'm giving this game three stars because while it is broken as stated above, it's nothing that can't easily be fixed with a quick update, otherwise this game has everything it needs to be amazing. Fix the impossible levels and add a practice mode so players can practice on stand alone level difficulties to avoid the matter of wasting the majority of time on the levels leading up to the one you want to work on. With these two updates the game would be a five star.
