Damn you rotate and move controls! With proper controls this would be a great game. As it is it's just too fiddly.

This is one game I have actually always tried to avoid playing as it never looked like my sort of thing, both here and on arcade, but Sinclair Randomseek demands it and I shall obey, and so I finally play this game for the very first time. The intro music is pretty nice, I'll give it that, the opening sequence is very impressive, I'll give it that, and the game looks pretty decent too, I'll give it that, but the controls are a nightmare. Moving left and right is a bastard! It's so hyper-sensitive and made shooting enemies and navigating the levels a lot more difficult than it ought to be. I agree wholeheartedly with Rebel Without A Cause's review, if it wasn't for it's fiddly, sensitive controls this could have been a great game, but as it is it's a nicely programmed game letdown by the lacklustre execution of its controls.

What a waste of a perfectly good game.
Why choose a bad key system and spoil the joy of what is in fact an excellent game? You get a great plot, good isometric graphics, nice tunes and overall sound, and then spoil it like this... Just wrong.
