Astyanax is a little clumsy game.

For one, the main character is twice as big as he looks, which makes him hit everywhere unless you play carefully. The controls are also very bad.

But these factors sum up to that it's a difficult game to play, and that's what makes this movie interesting - at least for those who have played this game.
