Not bad - not great...
The graphics are cool. The music is decent On these strengths, the game itself is a missed opportunity. It plays like the gazillion platformer collect em ups. The problem is that it's too basic. The enjoyment of old school platformers/collect em ups rested with the items/puzzles system they employed and the desire to unlock more of the world through solving these things. Dizzy - any version spanning from the zx spectrum to the nice take of it on the megadrive would be a good example. This game appears to cater to that when you watch the promo vid, but in reality it's not much more than a lot of very basic push button x to open door y on the same screen stuff, some rudimentary combat that has little purpose other than to become annoying, and five or six items that once collected unlock all boarded doors, all key card readers etc to parts of the world you've already passed through, but couldn't unlock the door to on the first pass. This results in it being not much more than the chore of revisiting earlier levels to find the one or two doors you had to pass on previously. Like the gameplay, the story is quite forgettable. A weird mix of a nod to something like the statement of the movie, they live, and a lot of talk about the fact you were going to settle down and have a baby. Maybe worth poicking up on sale for something to do the motions and complete for the sake of it, Short, too easy, not much variety and ultimately not much to do.
