This will be my shortest review ever, and Gamespot specific. This game was my first introduction to CD based games, full motion video, and the Sega CD itself. This little gem was very immersive for it's time, though nowadays would be laughable. The sheer fact that I recognized an actors face in a game I was playing, just blew me away at the time.

The gameplay itself was horribly memorization-based, much akin to Dragon's Lair. If you forget the sequence of button presses, it's basically game over, yet you kept trying just to see that next cool Full Motion Video.

As dated as it is, I felt that this game required someone to give it a little attention. It was pretty cool in it's day, and deserves its 15 minutes of fame.
