The gameplay reminded me a bit of Lilly Looking Through or the Amanita games, in that you don't move around freely but just click on hotspots to interact with instead, which will trigger movement and animations, and there is no option to display hotspots, so you have to move the mouse cursor around the screen to see where they are. I had some fun with it, but also moments of frustration and slight tedium, due to getting stuck for unnecessary reasons. As an adventure game, it was a mixed bag. The presentation is quite nice, good music and sound effects, interesting cartoon style, neat animations, and the story is alright as well, if nothing all too special. It's a bit shame that the game is not delivered with Linux installer. I used unpacked game files with my own DosBox, using dosbox-config file taken from GOG installer. As the ammo is limited, eliminating all opponents within a few minutes of race may not be easy. The main problem for me was that it's possible to technically win the race, but still lost the game because one of opponents stayed alive. The game is quite demanding, but it's still beatable. I'm happy that the game is sold in 2-pack with Megarace 2, because I want more! :) TV presenter, Lance Boyle, seems to be some kind of cult figure for old-school players :) I have to admit that he is so specific and the whole idea of the game is so cheesy that it creates unforgettable experience. Also one of not-so-many racing video game in which story and FMV/cut-scenes are quite important part of the game. ![]() One of many games I know from my childhood, but only from demos and press reviews. I'm not sure if it was a bug or I just suck. For more than half of my attempts during the final fight I couldn't trigger the QTE. And I also had issues with the final fight. I really didn't care for the jet ski level. especially when I ran out of ammo.Ī couple more minor quibbles. One plus was that Elena was probably better at the game than me so that was a welcome change. And I always found myself running out of ammo in the big fights. I often felt like I shouldn't be able to shoot at enemies based on our positions and vice versa. I never quite got the hang of the cover/line of sight mechanic. I also would have liked more platforming/puzzles and a little less combat. I liked how the game alternated between platforming and combat sequences but I felt neither gameplay type was really polished. I think the series does have a lot of opportunity for growth and polish so I look forward to future entries. ![]() But it did have some flaws and I hope it won't end up in my top 10 because it wasn't that good. Uncharted, Jan 2 (PS3)-I enjoyed this and it was a good game to start off the new year. I know I beat Singularity in 2017, probably in August, but could not find an entry in that thread about it. Not going to count them retroactively but it appears that in October of 2018 I did actually play through Blitzkrieg - Rolling Thunder as well as Shadow Warrior Wangton Destuction about April of that year.
