X8 was pretty awesome, but honestly in retrospect I can't appreciate it nearly as much as X4 or X1. It mostly has the "soulless" graphics and the sub-par level design to blame for that, I think. I mean come on; Gigavolt man-o-war's level was awful, so was most of Avalanche Yeti's. There wasn't a single level with any water, no ladders to be found (while yes, they're not necessary they were still cool and useful occasionally in the old ones), excess of spikes as opposed to varied and meaningful challenge and just kind of a... 'washed out' sort of feel to alot of the levels. I mean come on, Orbital elevator Jacob was one of the worst levels in any game. /:
It's still a great game, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little dissapointed - it could have been so much more.
