As long as it's got the same frantic action as GH on Saturn, I'll be a happy crappy.

I could have sworn Sega was going to publish it...Am I just off?

Wow, I had no idea there was a sequel in the works.  I guess Treasure ditched their no-sequel policy, eh?  The original rocks.  Hopefully this will live up to it.
