Hmmm, may have to give this a try! And I never played the original being 21 lol

REALLY, REALLY Enjoying this.

Seems true to its roots to the point where blowing stuff up is secondary to completing the objectives (rescuing civillians).

The use of a "3d" space and Parallax scrolling is genius.

The kids may not like it but **** em, this game is classic and a nod to its ancestor and I for one am glad they kept it real.
