If you're an RPG fan, this game will definately rock your world. This has the makings of an excellent game.
The hero in the game is Max (short for Maximillain) and as with any good ol RPG, a big meanie will come along and its up to him to kcik his butt and save the world. Max's journey will take him to the future and past, into a volcano, an alternate dimenions etc. etc. etc. (you get the idea).
The battle in this game is pretty solid. It isnt turn based but more hacking. When you encounter an enemy, you can freely move Max around and attack with your wrench or shoot em with your gun. Eventually, you'll get this chick named Monica. her weapon of choice is a nifty sword and a magic Bangle. She pretty much fights the same way Max does. Hoever they differ from each other in their special abilities. Max can climb into a cool robot thingy called the Ridepod and Monica can change into various enemies.
The graphics are not ground breaking but they are pretty damn good. the animations can be a little off but they are so few it can be forgiven.
The sound in the game is pretty good also. The voice acting could have been better though.
There is a ton of stuff to get out of this game. Mant sidequests are found around every corner. The most prominent one being the ability to take pictures of everything, take 3 of them and come up with an idea for an invention and then create it. This allows you to get sum awesome and rare items.
Now the part that screws the game over. The ENTIRE game is basically entering areas to do the same thing over and over and over. You enter an area, you kill all enemies, find the key to the exit, and get out... rinse and repeat. This really made the game very tedious and lacked variety. Its this repitition that lowered the games score.
Overall, this is a pretty solid game that any PRG fan should check out. If you are not an RPG fan, even slightly, dont bother with this game.
