Summary: Entertaining story, but nearly unplayable game.
Review: This game is funny and enjoyable during the cutscenes, but cutscenes are not enough to make a game fun to play. As Meccaryns the game is fairly good. The combination of their jetpacks and weapons make them fun until the levels in which bases become involved, at which point your lack of ability to directly control more than one character makes it very frustrating, especially when you are need to leave the base for resources, but are being attacked from multiple unknown directions. In the other two thirds of the game, any ranged weapons that are available quickly become useless and the melee combat systems are very poorly implemented. The one thing that all of the characters that the player uses in this game have one thing in common: they move too slowly! I found myself using every special power that I had to get across the monotonous expanses to find the next enemy or objective, so that they weren't available when I got there... this isn't an RPG, the player shouldn't have to do that much walking. In short, the developers of this game couldn't decide on a genre, so they threw together the worst elements of several. It's a shame, a great game could have been made with this story, but the developers failed to do so.

Summary: lost lots of sleep
Review: This game is stunning! Graphics are GREAT. It is very easy too lose track of time. Story line is very funny. If you dont have a 5-button mouse yet this game is a good reason to get one. This game only runs on MAC OS X so all you OS 9 users will have to update your system software.

Summary: Awesome
Review: This game shows up what OS X is really capable of doing. It is very beautifully rendered. It works much better with a 32 MB Video card but works Ok with a 16 MB. It is very funny and exciting. I highly recommend this game. It is a great value for the money.
