Well with another system comes the action/adventure games galore.  With the success of Resident Evil and Tomb Raider everyone wants their piece of the action!   Most of the clones dont impress ZT much but Blue Stinger is different.  This game actually does something no other game has ever done before!

Graphics is where this game shows off the DC hardware totally.  I mean every square inch of this game is real time.  That means no pre-rendered backgrounds here just true 3-D worlds.  The game has a feel to it that no other game can match.   Its like a real world and it is amazing.

Sound is also a great thing.  The voices are pretty lame and ignorant but what game isnt?  The music is also lame and repetetive, but the sound effects are just utterly incredible!  The different sounds of the weapons and monsters is eerie to say the least.  It really appeals to the game.

Control is awkward because of the odd camera angles.  The camera moves around like a movie camera and it makes the control indifferent.  I like the whole idea of the cameras but they do prove to be agitating at times.

Replay is quite good due to the fact that there are a ton of secrets unlocked for beating the game.  You will find yourself wanting to relive the expereince over and over again in this masterpiece.

Overall this game is a great first-gen package that delivers where it needs to.   It will definitely go down in history as one of the greats of its time.  I think everyone who is a fan of action/adventure games should check this wonder out, I think you will love it!

Graphics--9.5

This game is a classic waiting to happen and I hope that US gamers will give it its due credit!
