Good Points

There isn't any loads apart from the main title screen which means it increases playing time. Loads of guns from the start of the game including flame throwers and tazers. And also its on 4 cd's


Bad Points

The game has tonnes of puzzles that aren't explained. This can lead the player to throw the game out of the window. plus the game will kill you just so it can show an amazing piece of footage of you being shot to death.


General Comments

This Eidos game brings a cartoon japan feel to a cross between tombraider and James Bond. This game looks the business and with four playable characters you shouldn't get bored too quicky. The game itself is quite difficult from the start and the controls take a little time to get used to. There is a strong story which is important in a game and this explains what's going on. I myself find games like this easy but this one was really taxing as in the manual it says the puzzles are explained in the game. This is a lie. In actual fact most aren't explained and you either have to download a walkthrough or spend hours looking at the puzzle in different ways. This is still a good game but with a bit more thought and a bit more explanation this could have been excellent.
