Rating:
Graphics-10
Awesome explosions with tons of colors and even some excellent use of texture mapping. The enemies are roto-scoped perfectly.

Sound/music-9
Great sound effects for explosions and gunshots. Excellent sounds in there for the rockets. The music sets and industrialist mood.

 Control-10
Again, with 3d games there are more controls to use, so you have to remember that things will be a little more complicated than 2d games. IS perfectly gives you 3d control of the mech.

Power-10
The Jag throws tons of huge light sourced polygons around the screen with ease. Lots of variety in the missions too!

Fun factor-10
Playing this game is a riot! The BEST war simulation On anything to date!

Overall-99%
