Arcus! Such a great choice! I love all your runs but I especially like this one. Kudos to you my friend. I've played all 3 instances of the W&W saga. I like the 3rd one the most maybe you can make a run on it, but the other two are fine. It's just that the third I think was a bit more fun to play. The music score, the game mechanics, the graphics... This one is way more challenging and requires a lot of patience and skill. But again kudos(Kuros! lol) to you and hopefully we will see you playing the II and III. Thanks man!
