The legacy of one of the best games ever made, ten years on - and why it's still worth £100

If more developers were to embrace 2D for their gameplay mechanics, we'd get tighter games in general. Too many 3D games are woolly compared to similar 2D titles. Check out the final boss here - the 3D processor gets a thorough workout, but the game is still played in 2D. Brilliant.
