Featured review
In this game you are a genetically modified super cop that goes by Agent and you must fight three different gangs that have caused nothing but chaos in the city. I remember having fun playing this as a kid so when I decided to go back and see how it plays from older eyes I was surprised how fun it still was. It's got a solid arcade experience with its simple graphics and villains. There are no character arcs or characters (in terms of personality) and the villains serve more as things to shoot. Each gang has their design based on ethnicity/race (albeit stereotypical at points) and unique environment. The gunplay is fun, The hunt for orbs was entertaining, the sound design is memorable (so memorable that I remembered the orb sounds years after). But the most fun I had was in exercising the increased agility and strength that you gain by shooting, hitting, and hunting orbs. I loved leaping from building to building, kicking cars and running at absurd speeds. And the twist ending blew my brain when I was a kid.
This game does have its shortcomings though. Hunting the orbs based on sight and sound made it difficult to collect and would have preferred to have a map or key to aid in the quest, even if you had to slowly make it by doing missions or something of the sort. Aim was difficult to get a hold of in the beginning and at times wouldn't move how I would want it to. Driving was difficult because I couldn't turn my car at appropriate speeds.
Overall this game is a simple but fun experience that I would recommend one should play. Even with its flaws in mind I will probably play this game once again in the future.
