were they attempting "something greater" though? its been a long time so maybe i'm just forgetting but i don't remember any significant attempt to tell any deep story. if anything the game went out of it's way to not say anything much at all. i just see different "zones" that support the changes to the gameplay. it's basically no different then asking why does a game transition from forest to desert so abruptly? ...because its a new level.
