Release Year: 2001
Stephen's Rating: 5/10
Basic Plot
You play the role of Sam "Serious" Stone and you travel to different time periods to defeat an ancient alien enemy called Mental.
Gameplay
This is an unashamedly non-realistic first person shooter. The guns are huge and powerful, the enemies are enormous and come in huge waves, the colours and bright and unnatural.
There was only one way to beat the game. Jump backwards in circles and hold the fire key down. There was simply no other way to get past the enemies.
There was a nice sense of distance and size within the game world which had an almost peaceful feel about it at times.
Positives
I like how the game doesn't try and be anything other than what it is - a really bad first person shooter with lots of STUFF. It fulfills that niche which Duke Nukem also sits in but does it with more nouse in my opinion.
Negatives
It's a fairly repetitive game and it really doesn't have much of a story. There isn't a lot of skill involved other than jumping backwards in circles.
Memorable Moments
Jumping backwards in circles? I completed the game so I couldn't give it less than a 5. If it was terrible I simply wouldn't have finished it.
