Reviews
Game Title | Publisher | Reviewer | Pages | Pg No(s) | Rating |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Alone In The Dark | Interplay Productions | N/A | Small Article | 76 | 80% |
Gridders | Tetragon | N/A | Small Article | 78 | 62% |
Burning Soldier | Panasonic | Thierry Falcoz | 2 | 96-97 | 84% |
Shock Wave | Electronic Arts | Olivier Canou | 2 | 106-107 | 85% |
Powers Kingdom | Panasonic | Thierry Falcoz | 1 | 120 | 82% |
- Alone In The Dark - Cette version 3DO est inférieure à celle sur PC. La 3D est moins fine et les personnages légèrement flous.
- Gridders - Un jeu malgré tout vite répétitifet assezénervant.
- Burning Soldier - C'est sans conteste le meilleur jeu de tir sur 3DO et surtoutes machines confondues.
- Shock Wave - li est dur mais super! Une vitesse d'animations impressionnante, sans rendre le jeu injouable, des scènes cinématiques qui vous font vivre l'histoire, des méchants à gogo toujours plus vicieuxet des bruitages plus vrais que nature.
- Power Kingdom - Powers Kingdom ne brille pas au premier contact visuel. Après 30 minutes de jeu et lorsque l'essentiel des menus japonais est assimilé, le jeu devient franchement passionnant.
