  1. I am a huge fan of Quake and enjoy a game of Diablo every now and then. But neither Quake nor Diablo held my interest for as long as Zax has. The reason: it just plain rocks.
  2. 82
    If you like isometric action games, you'll love Zax. It may not be new, creative, or genre bending, but it sure is fun.
  3. 77
    Zax's raw emphasis on action is its most severe and debilitating limitation, but the simplistic, refreshing, and enjoyable control scheme by which this action is delivered is at the same time its most redeeming and distinguishing quality.
  4. Zax is simple and repetitive in the same way that simple and repetitive arcade games of the past offered action-packed, addictive entertainment.
