Like much of these SegaCD FMV based games, the gameplay is fairly light on, with this just being a basic minute or two of shooting that could be used with the Menacer. before the next FMV sequence occurs.
I'm far from the greatest at these type of ferocious shooters but god damn, this is a hard one. It's fun while it lasts though.
Gameplay 4/5
Graphics 3.5/5
Sound 3/5
Difficulty 1/5
Originality 3/5
I imagine this was Sega's response to Nintendo's Tetris in a way. It lacked the addictiveness though of Tetris, but is still a fun multiplayer falling block puzzle game. Some great music too!
Some great graphics for the PlayStation which do well to recreate the colour and imagery of the movie of the same name, and the characters are recreated well also. However, the gameplay lets it down. I can't imagine finishing this without a walkthrough. The gameplay revolves very much around finding an item/talking to the right people etc, to move further in the game. But a lot of the time you're left unsure what to do, and you have to be in the perfect spot to pick up items and use things. If you're not in the perfect spot Miette whines at you which begins to wear thin fairly early.
A good way to describe this is Resident Evil on a train, substituting the zombies for terrorists. I went back to this recently and it didn't play as well as I remembered it to, but there are some good moments of action.
