    A very well done strategy game that suffers from, of all things, an overload of story and linearity.

    It's more about a quick trigger finger than mapping out a careful plan of attack. [Mar 2002, p.134]

    I was completely satisfied with how it was presented. One thing that sets this strategy title apart from others is that the game doesn’t completely focus on strategy elements.

    A more than welcome breath of fresh air on the GBA. [April 2002, p.71]

    Anybody into over-the-top characterisation and cheesy sweeping narrative will lap it up, as will those into their strategy games. People who find them dull, boring and tiresome should stay well clear.

    Controls were really too convulted to allow any type of real gameplay to shine through.
