Reviews

Game Title	Publisher	Reviewer	Pages	Pg No(s)	Rating
Wing Commander 3	Electronic Arts	Tetsuhiko Hara	Two Page Review	96-97	82%
Hell	GameTek	Tetsuhiko Hara	Half Page Review	98	74%
Syndicate	Electronic Arts	Tetsuhiko Hara	Half Page Review	98	85%

• Wing Commander 3 - Wem das nicht stört, kann sich ruhig das Teil schnappen. Und überhaupt, für mich als WC-Fan steht schon einmal fest: WC 3 ist eines der besten Spiele das es fürs 3DO zu kaufen gibt!
• Hell - Aber bis dahin müßt Ihr Euch mit den gerenderten und unwirklichen Gestalten aus der Take 2-Polygonkiste begnügen. Wer hingegen auf knifflige Detektiv-und Rätselspiele steht, ist mit Hell gut bedient.
• Syndicate - Die Grafik gibt sich im gewohnten 3DO-Standard detailliert und stimmungsvoll. Das gilt auch für den Sound, der in digitalisierter Form auf die CD gepreßt wurde. Leider machen sich die langen Nachladezeiten unangenehm bemerkbar. Die schlechte Steuerung wird Euch einiges abverlangen. Für Freunde des Action-Strategiespiels ist Syndicate ein Titel, den man in seiner Spielesammlung haben muß.
