Haven't played in a bit but started on hard .... which is making it not that fun; Now my options are to replay the game on normal mode and go through the first 3 levels again, or to try sticking it out on hard. It never feel's "overly" tough, its just the load times between deaths are so long, like 1 - 2 minutes per death; if it was die and jump right back in I would be fine.
