Sound: 5 out of 10
Gameplay: 6.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6 out of 10
Overall: 6 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics in this game are pretty poor. On the sidescrolling
part of the game, the guy just looks way too cartoony and so does everything
else. The color scheme is way too meek for this game in my opinion.
Sound: The music in this game is okay. Like a lot of games the quality of
the music isn't that good, but at least the songs aren't annoying. However,
they didn't really set the mood of the game too well either.
Gameplay: A really good sidescroller for the Blaster. You play as this spy
guy who must go around a level. You must dodge enemies (or shoot them),
pits, spikes, and everything else while collecting balloons for extra bullets.
Also, you must shoot your character in order to get him to jump. And you do
all of this with the Blaster gun. Anyway, what you have to do in every level
is collect gems you need to enter the final level. As you can probably guess,
the controls aren't the best ever, but they are good enough to get by. It's
also a pretty fun game and it's one of the better Blaster games.
Hardness factor: The controls are a little on the poor side, which makes
this game a bit harder than it should be. It may take you a few tries to get
past the later levels, but that's depends on your gaming skill level.
Overall: 6 out of 10. This is a pretty cool game, though it pales in comparison
to other games that use the control. Still, if you really want to play a
Blaster game, you can't go wrong with this one.
