- Here's a review of MicroProse's HYPERSPEED.
-
- This review might be somewhat premature, but as I'm eager to hear
- more reviews as soon as people can muster them, I'll practice
- what I preach and bang this one right out after about 4 hours of
- play time.
-
- The graphics are okay, but certainly not astounding. The sound is
- a little repititve by the standard of most games these days, but
- it still enhances the game. The game is a pretty good mix of
- strategy and action as you have to fight fast-paced battles that
- are pretty challenging (when you blow up a bad guy in one of your
- speedy sub-fighters you really feel like you accomplished something!)
- and run very smoothly in vector graphic 3-D in between trade deals
- and getting other races to like you and sign peace treaties. The
- game takes a while to learn but is pretty enjoyable if you get the
- hang of only the basics. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 7.
-
- Oh, if you didn't know this is an expansion on the game LIGHTSPEED.
-
- If you'd like a more detailed review of what game play is really
- like, please respond via person e-mail.
