    Well what can I say...this is a major disappointment...if you like your character falling to his or her death from unstable platforms, or youWell what can I say...this is a major disappointment...if you like your character falling to his or her death from unstable platforms, or you like him/her getting impaled on spikes, just by standing a little too close to them, or the moronic game controls where you are trying to shoot this bat or bogey monster, yet the game cant decide if you are out of bullets or want to try your (ahem) one handed slapping/leg flailing aerobics/stodgy martial arts skills. Then there is the music, if you can call it that...it mostly feels like a smoke alarm has ran out of battery power, or a choo choo train that's got a loada carrier bags stuck in its funnels....I dunno what the guys were thinking (or doing) when designing this game...the ideas behind it are great, but the final product is nothing short of disastrous.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. ODT: Escape or Die Trying
    Developed by FDI and Published by Psygnosis

    (Very Little Spoilers Ahead)

    Here's the Plot.
    There's an deadly epidemic going around in the City of Calli, and its up to Captain Lamat Nash and his Crew to Put an end to the Deadly Epidemic using the green Pearls Power. The Epidemic was spreading fast, Decimating the Population. Since that The Nautiflyus Airship would take too long to arrive flying over Known Lands, They decide to take a shortcut through the Forbiddin Region. When they arrived at the forbiddin Zone, the Green Pearl tried to shield the Nautiflyus ship from the deadly clouds which unfortunately failed after the Lightning Bolt had struck the Nautiflyus and was forced to make a crash landing on top of a Labyrinth Structure.

    With the Ship severally Damaged, Captain Lamat has no choice but to send one of his Crew members inside the Unknown Tower to find some Gas to reinflat the Balloons, While the others look for the materials to mend the Aircraft. Once you began to desend down to the tower, (Spoiler) Captain Lamat Nash gets Kidnapped and the Green Pearl gets stolen by an unknown entity. Not only you need to find at least 20 to 40 Bottles of Gas depending on the Difficulty, You now must also save Captain Nash and retrieve the Green Pearl and the pieces of its container.

    They're are 4 Characters to choose from:
    Corporal Ike Hawkins, Captain's Second in Command.
    Julia Chase, Cartographer
    Maxx Havok, Chief Engineer
    Solaar, The Archbishop

    They're also 2 hidden Characters that can be unlocked with use of cheats:
    Sophia Hawkins, Stowaway (Ike Hawkins Sister) L1, L2, R2, R1
    Karma, Ex Deviant (The good Unknown Entity) R1, R2, L2, L1

    The game starts you off by the crash site along with Captain Lamat to watch over and oversee the Repairs while he asks you to head down inside the tower to retrieve some gas. The gameplay itself is fair, The difficulty is fair in terms of gunfights, Platforming (mostly) and traps. Its not to hard, but some of the platforming is small and sometimes you need to back up close to the edge to get a running start. if you jump to early while your still beginning to run, you may end up jumping slowly and only a few feet and you may even jump to your death. I forgot to mention that this game is Full of DEATH TRAPS that could or can Kill you. It's not to say that It's not very hard, but Trivial. You can die from falling to your death or falling into a spike pit. Some platforms will give and fall which means you can fall to your death if you don't move soon. Other traps don't kill you in one hit, (depending on the difficulty) But you can take some or take severe damage to your health. There's ammo to pick up, While the Blue amination is more common than the rest, They can be scares if used often. If you do run out of ammo, Melee could be your only option at least against small or medium enemies. But the Large and Boss enemies, you need ammo if you wanna see past the level. There are also hidden items in the game to find, through secret rooms or at ledges, Be sure to look around every corner. don't forget, secret rooms also contain important items such as the pearl pieces, Ammo, Upgrades, gas, etc.

    You'll also find save points throughout the game that look like teleporters. so when you have a chance, Save your game.

    The really Bad Thing about this game is the Game breaking Backpack Bug in Level 4. (Spoilers) After you get captured, you must retrieve your Belongings. Beware that when you pick up the Backpack containing your items. There is a bug where if you are almost or at a capacity of how much you can carry when your items are taken and stored in a backpack, and that you have numerous items in your inventory when you select the backpack to retrieve your items. It will break your Inventory and your Game. So when you do Retrieve your Items. Be sure you drop everything or don't pick anything up till you retrieve your items. Excluding Health, Mania ammo, gas and Container Piece, They will add to amount of items you already have.

    The soundtrack in this game is really great, especially in areas that fit the atmosphere or during boss fights. although it's not to say lots of em unfortunately are unused and would had worked better in certain areas too. another thing that bugs me that the music always cuts back to the start before it ends. Never the less, the music is still great.

    Graphics are not the best especially Character Face textures in some looked all rubbed out. If you move your camera against the walls, you can see past the boundaries, But it can also be useful for locating Secrets too. It's pretty much what you'll expect on a PS1 Console. Environments do look great however, Textures are great, they fit in the environments of the maps. Enemy textures are fair.

    It's a Great game to be fair, It has some quarks and Bugs. But it's an underrated game. To me its a classic! and I recommend checking it out.    … Full Review »
