Yet another game that flew under my radar for a long time (hahaha). Though i must admit that the demo was fun, so maybe i'll get it in a couple of months. Great review as alwyas.

I think I'll get it anyway. I have a weird tendency of clinging to the good bits of a game and really enjoying it despite the bad stuff. From the review it seems the good stuff are good enough to make it worth buying, at least when it gets cheaper in a few months.
...Wow i didn't expect that, he actually had some good things to say about the game.
Ive played the demo and i thought it was utterly shit.

The demo really doesn't do the game justice in many respects. The demo is simply put, awful. The game itself has plenty of flaws but manages to still be good fun while being flawed.sumguitardude said:
I have to agree that the game feels to short for what it's trying to tell, you really get a sense the story cuts corners here and there to make it to the end.
The thing that disturbed me about this game is the controls (on PC then ofc) It takes hours to learn how to fly cuz u are not able to hit shit while on the jetpack.
If ur not an Flight Simulation nerd: Dont try it on PC, unless u really wanna fly around getting annoyed by the time it takes to learn to fly normaly with the jetpack (1-2h+).
On ground the the game works pretty well exept the fact that you have to restart the whole level when dying.

Yahtzee's the most positive review I've seen for this game? Fitting for a game where the protagonist flies through the Bermuda Triangle... I feel like this is some kind of Bizarro world!
I should have defined my statement a bit more, I meant recent titles, the two you mentioned came out in 05 and 99 respectively. Now a majority of games seem to be put out in a year or two.NewClassic said:

surley the 3-worlds-neighbour-stepping-stone thing has been done at least once before too?
Tales of Symphonia springs to mind: where Silverant (a world where the top+bottom and left+right parts of the map link up, hence implying a large spherical plane known as a 'Planet') is linked to Tethealla (Planet, see above) via Derris Kharlan (A large purple sphere with inhabitants... Planet)

I'm pretty sure that's what is going on in Half-Life as well, with Xen being referred to as a border world. Reminds me of the geography in Dark Tower.Versago said:
I had no interest in this game and it appears as though its going to stay that way.
Jetpacks do seem to be a recipe for success however. Makes me wish there was a "good game" version of this.
