NEC AVENUE/SEGA
7 DECEMBER 1990
Ambitious arcade conversion of Sega’s 3D helicopter game. The game is divided into two styles, into-the-screen and vertically scrolling overhead viewpoint, and due to it’s reliance on 3D, it takes some guts to convert it to a console like the Engine. And considering the limitations, they haven’t done a bad job, at least technically. Yes, the buildings are jerky, but there is no other way to do it. Where the game does fall down is it’s gameplay. Even in the arcade it was quite poor, only the novelty of the moving chair to make you play it, and without the bells and whistles, you can really see what a dull game it is. Control is terribly sluggish too.
GRAPHICS: A really good try, even if the result is a little unsightly.
SOUND: Good renditions of music that was hardly Sega’s finest hour.
