• Escape From Monster Manor - Monster Manor is a good attempt at a spooky blaster and is fast, with lots of eerie sound fx, but it is all too repetitive.
• Jurassic Park Interactive - The 3DO allows programmers to cram this game with flashy graphics but the gameplay is tedious and you just end up playing the same sections over again and again. Lacking in atmosphere and excitement.
• Night Trap - Over-hyped FMV adventure that allows you to peep at a bunch of teenage girls as they stay in a house that is under attack from evil villains. This is corny and just a straight conversion of a mediocre game.
• Road Rash - A combination of Road Rash's playability and the top quality presentation that the 3DO always promises. Sadly though, it is just a better looking version of the old console game and doesn't even possess an adequate two player mode.
