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.
