** The game was essentially a 3D platformer... on a ''handheld''. Sure, there was the port of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' (Which had a few porting issues), but the fact that this was a 3D game controlled with the joy-pad allowed some much more sensitive movement. This combination was a pretty big thing back in 2005.
** This game also had voice acting. Voice acting in a handheld game ''and'' it was of pretty high sound quality (for the time). These things were pretty unheard of back in 2005. Even the PSP's rival (The Nintendo DS) didn't feature many games that truly had this kind of feature until ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: ''Root of Evil'' is much more forgiving than the first game, replacing the lives with a fairly forgiving checkpoint system among other quality of life improvements. The Wii port makes things even easier by featuring motion-controlled aiming.
