Reviews

Game Title Publisher Reviewer Pages Pg No(s) Rating
Total Eclipse Crystal Dynamics N/A 3 58-60 7
Night Trap Virgin Interactive N/A 2 64-65 5
  • Total Eclipse - It's hard to criticise a game that looks and moves as well as this, but it's the way it plays, as well as the way it looks tnat matters. At the end of the day you don't feel like you really ‘have’ to play Total Eclipse, instead you feel more compelled to have a session with it.
  • Night Trap - Night Trap does have an intense atmosphere and has converted quite well, but it's just that it's, well, Night Trap. With the limitations of the CD it was never a brilliant game on Sega's machine, and sadly the same can be said of this 3DO version.
