It perfectly matches the pleasure I get from playing this game...

I'm pretty sure that "Agilent" knows the Flashtro version very well.
Of course, the point was that the angels/defjam fix was bad... so i fixed it.

Mmhhh.... i'd say a guide with good explanations on how to do things properly to finish a level.

Because the indications given in the manuals are most of the time very thin, or very bad.

From the LP its hard to tell. The graphics, sound and scrolling are ok. Just looks looks like a boring generic console type game. But some people like them. Whats fundamentally wrong with it, if anything?

- enemies are dumber than a doornail. They're either following you around or they fall off an edge
- stationary enemies take the cake, if you crouch down they'll just happily keep shooting over your head!
- almost no variety in enemies
- there are long stretches where absolutely nothing is happening. Just running from A to B
- ... at walking speed

It feels more like a prototype. At least the driving sections are sufficiently fast, but if you just keep hammering the fire button you hardly have to move the car. And the cutscenes are pretty alright.

Take this game, make it more Rubicon, and you've got something decent.

In a way this kinda supports my point If you just look at the game it is a lot better than actually playing it.
