If memory serves,(& I've got the issue around somewhere), Zzap didn't give it a ringing endorsement though,did they? It reminds me of how all the reviewers raved about Batman the Movie's 3D driving/flying sections, yet when I finally got it,(on clearance after already having owned/played a compilation which had Lotus Esprit 1 on it), I thought the driving section was very average especially compared to Lotus.
They are of course limited to what was available at the time as to what to compare it to though. Look at the C64, they had Retrograde being a great shoot-em-up, but was then completely dwarfed by Turrican within a couple of months,so much so even the Miggy games,(Turrican 1 & 2), still were classics despite not being much more than direct ports of the C64 versions gameplay/size.
