You know, if you look up at the dropship that flies away after you are through the Lighthouse's hidden door, it's carrying your Buggy away. :cry:

Am I the only one who HATED the Ant-lions sequance in the start?
Both vehicles sucked, sucked donkey balls.
While I can understand keeping inside Gordan at all times, but most games have it right, controlling vehicles = 3rd person view.

The buggy was poor, but I /loved/ the airboat.

So... Am I the only one who actually liked both vehicles?
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

I LOVED the vehicle sequences, especially Highway 17/Sandtraps.

Ravenholm, while my least favorite part, was still enjoyable, to a point. I like going through it very quickly, and then coming out of the mines... it's like a religious experience.

I found the music that plays as you leave the mines particularly memorable, not to mention the anti-zombie snipers deployed to keep the train-tracks clear.

Heh, those guys were nasty, but I remembered a way of dealing with snipers from RtCW.

I, too, was pissed when that dropship stole my buggy, though I admit that the air boat was damn fun. I wish you could've taken the gauss gun off the buggy. Then those antlions would have problems.

Incidentally, the best music is when you put on your HEV suit again. It's the Valve theme! :P
