Final Assault is a really boring affair.
Once you master the climbing technique on part 3 the game starts to make more sense, but it still has no addictive qualities. The graphics and athmosphere are pleasant and the strategy part is a nice touch but the game really never takes off.
I much prefer a little known Spanish game called 'Free Climbing' released the same year, probably inspired by the Final Assault arcade version.
Much simpler and straightforward in gameplay.
