Some of the game's monsters are pretty well designed, some of the landscapes boldly coloured in psychedelic hues, which make it alright to look at for a while, and graphically lies at a kind of cross between Half Life and the more trippy boss levels in NiGHTS.

You do, however get a very snotty sounding English lady telling you take the disc out of your CD player, as it's only compatable with the Dreamcast (!) which is quite surreal.

I'd played it a little way back in the day, and my hazy memory recalled it as being a little bit different to anything I'd seen before. Rubbish graphics, rubbish design, just plain rubbish.'
