<br />
narc - ocean<br />
--------------<br />
<br />
the game consists of 6 levels, each<br />
containing a lot of enemies to kill<br />
by shooting everything.<br />
the sales curve's latest production<br />
contains partly average graphics,<br />
except the levels and sprites itself,<br />
an average sound, but nice special<br />
effects, a two-player-modus and more.<br />
gathering weapons is possible...<br />
<br />
valuation : 73%<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
fire &amp; forget ii - titus<br />
<br />
the 1st part has never been produced,<br />
but considering that the successor is<br />
usually said to be better than its<br />
predecessor, we do better without it.<br />
<br />
the game is a car-racing game with<br />
the only difference that you have to<br />
shoot your opponents and the<br />
hindrances. after you made enough<br />
speed you can take off and also shoot<br />
the flying circus around yourself.<br />
graphics, music, fun etc are low !!<br />
<br />
valuation : 40%<br />
