An almost perfect adventure game.
Flashback is possibly one of the best 2D adventure games of all time, that is widely overlooked by the majority of game media. If it were not for the last level, the game would be pretty much perfect. Across the first 2 levels the game gradually introduces you to the basic mechanics of the game, in no time you will get a feel for how far conrad jumps and where he will end up at the end of a roll. All of which will become crucial to finishing later levels without too much difficulty. The last level however, despite being one of the best looking scenes ion the whole game, is a bit of a crap fest. Laden with cheap enemies, akward areas to fight them in, very long periods between save points...it's almost like they didn't actually test this level all that much or just chucked in the enemies after the fact. Either way, even after completing it numerous times over the last 25 years, it's a pretty disappointing end to a fantastic adventure and leaves a bit of a bad taste. In regards to this port, it's fairly decent but has some glaring issues. -No Key Rebinding -No proper Direct Input support (Odd button layout, D-Pad doesn't work) -Only contains the DOS sounds, which are inferior to some other versions -Bloom effects haven't been used very creatively. It's still worth buying if you love Flashback or haven't had a chance to play it yet, just be aware that it's not quite the best version to play. I greatly appreciate that it has finally been released on modern formats, it's been long overdue.
