Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 3 out of 10
Gameplay: 2 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6 out of 10
Overall: 3 out of 10
Graphics: Horrible graphics. It used the same chip that was in Star Fox,
but they totally messed up on it. Pretty sad how they messed up on
something so simple. Enemies just look too lumpy and the frame rate
is all jerky.
Sound: They also messed up the music. It just sounds so poor and the
quality of it is bad enough to make you turn off the sound.
Gameplay: A really lame game that tried to be like Starfox. You control a
'mech' and run around a '3D' level running around, killing enemies, and
collecting orbs. They messed up the dynamics of the game and made the
controls too hard to use. Also, you can almost never get away from homing
enemies, which makes this game even more annoying.
Hardness factor: Not counting the horrendous controls (7 or 7.5 if you count
the controls) the game is pretty much average. Enemies are a bit too hard
for your lunky mech, but you won't play this game long enough for it to bug you.
Overall: 3 out of 10. Just a really bad game that has no depth to it. Get Star
Fox if you basically want the same game, only a lot more fun.
