Review for the release not the game
Unfortunately, this release is so borked that it exceeded my threshold for technical BS, and I can't be bothered to keep bashing my head against the wall with it. The only positive thing I can say is that it launches and, technically, it’s playable because you can load into the game and start a level. Unfortunately, that’s where its functionality ends: 1. Widescreen fixes don’t work at all. You’re stuck playing in a 4:3 aspect ratio unless you enjoy playing your games stretched horizontally. 2. If you have a dual monitor setup, you're screwed, unless you disconnect the second monitor. You’ll constantly drag your cursor to the other screen and minimize the game whenever you try to click to fire. There is no way to run this game in exclusive fullscreen as far as I'm aware. 3. The audio is so deep fried you'll start craving some Kentucky friend chicken. I’m not sure if this was intentional or if it's the fact that it's an old DirectX 6 game that doesn’t play nice with modern hardware. The DirectSound hardware patch didn’t seem to help either. 4. Mouse input is somehow both jittery and unresponsive at the same time. It all depends on the direction you're trying to aim. The direct input fix didn’t resolve the issue for me either. So overall, I couldn’t get this game into a playable state, which is a shame because I’ve always wanted to try it. Buyer beware. For reference, all the fixes I attempted came from the PCGamingWiki.
Is this helpful to you?
