Rating:

Graphics-8
The visuals in the game while not breathtaking, are very, very good. The animation is excellent when stacked up to a game like Theme Park. The cinematics are a bit dull. The FMV screen is only about 75% of the screen size, and yet it still looks kind of grainy.

Sound/music-8 1/2
Each 20 levels has it's own set of tunes. They become a bit repetitive when you've been playing for an hour, but I doubt you'll become annoyed. The sound effects are nice. I love the screams, explosions and trap sounds. The FX had a lot of room for improvement though.

Control-9
There are quite a few controls. The basic gameplay may take some getting used to. All of the Jaguar buttons are put to good use here, so some may be overwhelmed, but in time, you get the hang of things.

Power-8 1/2
Lots of levels. Lots of little dudes running around on-screen drop the framerate, but not as tremendously as Syndicate.

Fun factor-10
This game is a blast. With all of the levels, you'll be playing for a long time. Not to mention all of the hidden levels and secret inventions ;)

Overall-89%

"Maybe if the Baldies wielded guns"-Video Games

Now I can see that these guys didn't play the game very long. The Baldies DO wield guns as well as grenades. I bet they didn't even make a single invention before doing their review.
