Had my first mp experience in the game, god the emotion it brought out in me. That's right - mean, rotten old tiger Sammy was feeling all emotional there for his little fellow traveler.
We had traveled the final roller coaster last section of the game together, me and my companion. We flew side by side until I noticed he or she was suddenly…. gone. They steered wrong and hit a wall, they didnt jump at the right time and went down into a ravine, i dont know. He or she was just gone, and I was alone.
I was standing at the end of the game, right before the threshold of the end game (you literally walk into the light) without my friend. I sat there waiting for them, we Just HAD to finish this game together, after all we'd been thru (we'd played together for a couple hours at least). I sat and waited, and waited some more. About 5 minutes passed I realized they probably werent coming, and my disappointment grew. She got disconnected, he had to go to the bathroom, maybe they just shut off the console in frustration… they just quit and left me hanging. My friend had left me. My friend had been defeated. My friend was gone.
So i got up, turned, and started walking towards the light….
then I heard the telltale chirping of my companion, as I turned and saw her emerging from the distant fog! The sense of elation i felt - I was so happy, words cannot explain. She walked up to me, we both exchanged a chirp or two, then we turned and walked into the light - side by side. It was a beautiful experience.
