Ahead of its time
Fun gameplay, huge maps (for the time), great visuals and a light-hearted sense of humor to boot. | | While playing this game I get the feeling that the Planet Moon Studios dev team didn't hold itself back. The dialogue in the cutscenes feels natural, the comedy is over-the-top and self-aware, the 3D visuals are (to my great surprise) *still* great and the game mechanics are... daring... yeah, I think that's the best word to describe it. | | Why? Well, because the devs didn't confine themselves to a specific game-type, but rather chose to freely shift from a 3rd person shooter to a 3rd person base-war strategy game to a racing game. | | This last aspect brings up some pros and cons. On one hand this makes the game stand out as something unique and special for the time, not falling prey to some rigid canon imposed by game publishers (like many present-day AAA titles), but on the other it causes some aspects of it to be a bit hit-and-miss. | | You'll find a good number of harmless bugs here and there and some levels feel like they were too ambitious for the devs to fully achieve but, considering the year that it was released, this was truly ahead of its time. | | Worth playing, if you ask me.
