Description:	Whilst no doubt a technically impressive game in its claimed 4 billion levels the fact that they're all so similar mars this. Couple that with poor controls and an uninformative manual and it just ends up an exercise in frustration. This game was the first in which Developers "Maelstrom" used light sourced shading on solid 3D objects - a technique they later used in games such as Midwinter.
