Surprisingly solid and fun.
-
What prevents the game from getting an above average score are a small collection of annoying gameplay flaws, some persistent camera angle problems, and a lack of longevity.
-
You get amazing graphics, good gaming music, and some arcade style gameplay that is fun for the casual gamer, but might leave feature-loving gamers looking for more.
-
At the end of the day it's all about fun, and Heavy Metal serves it up in spades.
-
Without any satisfyingly complex battles, lacking any sort of an interesting story line, and plagued by camera angles that will drive you batty; playing Heavy Metal: Geomatrix is like paying sixty bucks to see Megadeth, and discovering you must sit through a set by Britney Spears.
-
Shame on Capcom for giving it's fighting games a bad track record by putting out this piece of crap!
-
Presentation, however, cannot makeup for poor gameplay, something that Heavy Metal has in abundance.
-
Sort of like a dumbed-down "Powerstone," but with fewer weapons. Honestly, this game does nothing new at all. And what it does do, we've seen done better in games.
-
Simply an uninteresting licensed 3D arena shooter that feels extremely rushed and won't impress anyone.
-
Game InformerForemost among these flaws is the camera, which is so poor that it almost defies imagination. [Dec 2001, p.113]

NickR.Jan 2, 2002Really really fun game! Graphics are amazing, the gameplay beats any other fighting game on dreamcast. Definately worth the $10.
