| A rare yet excellent and challenging title. Choose an insertion point and pilot your hovercraft through a city decimated by a nuclear explosion, fending off attacks with your missiles and gatling gun whilst keeping your wingmen alive. Movement is semi-on rails - you can choose to which way to turn at intersections but don't pilot the craft directly, instead moving the crosshairs to pick off highlighted targets. Successful hits are rewarded with short FMV sections of the target exploding. For once the movement between clips is fast enough to not interrupt gameplay (though each is preceded by the same shot of your gun firing or a missile launching to give the CD time to hunt the relevant piece of FMV down). The picture quality is surprisingly good, though it can be difficult to make out what's going on until targets are highlighted. |
