Fun game, though I died more in this game than any other game I've ever owned, which sometimes had me howling at the computer out of sheer frustration. But I always kept coming back....
The early part of the game is really tough! My advice: read up on tips and tricks before playing this game, and get a hold of a partial walkthrough of the beginning, at least. It will definitely help avoid some of the most frustrating aspects of the game.
