Watching the demo of this shows there is more than one type of level beyond the first's FPS shooter. A side scrolling one similar to the previous games, and a 2D jetpack romp. You'll never see them without cheating however, as the aforementioned opening level is impossible to complete. Its difficulty lies with the fact that the enemies can hit you while offscreen, and they do. You'll get a brief warning like "Danger! Punks advancing!" and a flashing arrow, but by the time you reach them in order to dispense your particular brand of testicle mauling justice, they've already hit you three or four times. Oof, right in the efficiency.

A real shame, as with a bit of common sense on behalf of the creators this could have been a winner. Its polish, tunage, and graphics are quite good, as you would expect from a stalwart of the industry like Ocean Software at the end of the system's lifespan.

I won't mention the movie if you don't.
