This was the game I got for my very first PC (as in MY pc; in my room not for family use!). Boy did I have fun with this one. It had the violence, the blood, the kewl tunes. It was a time when anime was booming big time and shooters were exploding into a new era of freedom and detail. I have a very fond attachment to this game. It was a fast paced shooter with some amazing weaponry and fun and clever little details such as watching wee-sized baddies toss around like bloody badminton birdies after being hosed by mecha guns. It did have its down sides though. Mainly I always found the driving mode wonky. It was like being on a sled with wheels on ice. Also I found the game to be rather short overall. Other than these things, I thought this game was truly awesome and it was a great lead in to Unreal Tournament and Half Life (the shooters I got after finding out how wicked sick the genre was with this game!). It is a shame that it did not ever get the glory (and sequels) it deserved!
