Anyone here play this game? I'd been meaning to check it out for a while and bought it the other night. It's the ZX Spectrum Miami Vice game, meets the film Drive, meets Dreamweb from the Amiga with the original Manhunt thrown in. You character wears masks and has psychological/drug problems and there's some conspiracy theory mind control and an 80s hedonist/nihilistic/ambiguous outlook. The soundtrack is absolutely superb too. One of the very, very few game soundtracks that I think is a valid 'album' away from the game (HOTD: Overkill is probably the only other one for me). In short, I think it's very Zilty. $9.99 on GOG.com at the moment, well worth checking out. It's a little on the short side, but time/score attacking and being a completist with all the unlockables adds to the longevity. |

This game fucking rules. Some of the most entertaining gameplay I have experienced for a long time. Simple, low start up, but can get very technical. Super fast-paced, and intense as hell. Over-the-top violence, and style leaking out the asshole. The soundtrack is awesome, and actually has me appreciating some house-ier music. Really gets me pumped! One of the best "I have 30 minutes to kill" games to just fire up and do a few levels without waiting on a bunch of load times or setting up anything, just click-click and play. A true throwback to the oldschool intense beat em ups and action games of the old consoles. Mac version is |

It's interesting read. I used to have a bit more patience with the anti-violence in video games lobby, but as I've gotten older, my thoughts on the matter have gotten clearer and more strongly defined. What it boils down to is this: It always worries the fuck out of me when people get hung up on drawing analogies between killing in a game and wanting to do it in real life. I hate real world violence. I enjoy it in games. The two are not the same. The fact I can make this distinction so much that I feel entirely differently about them makes me less likely to take a drill to someone's head in the real world. People for whom this distinction is somehow unclear, or even only a thin line really trouble me. They should probably be on some sort of watch list. |
