A good exemplar of how to structure a narrative in the style of a video game, rather than simply grafting video-game action onto a story, as many other modern SF/fantasy writers seem to do. Possibly this was made easier by the fact that almost all of the action was literally a video game. I quickly grew tired of the 80's references and the plot device that made them so central, but I could still appreciate the climactic protagonist-antagonist showdown taking the form of a brawl between Ultraman and Mecha-Godzilla.
