Reviews for Hyper Active (#2413)

Review by The Dean of Games on 23 Jan 2012 (Rating: 3)

1988 Sinclair User (UK)
by Jonathan M. Smith, Charles Davies and Keith Tinman (Music)

I think this is the worst game made by the Special FX team while Joffa integrated the team.
Reminds me a lot of Starbike and Saucer, thou the object of the game is different.
Its still a good game but a bit on the simple side, basically a shoot-em-up with some things to do.
I think this served more has a marketing product for Sinclair User magazine and Special FX Software than anything else.

A simple but fast and addictive shoot-em-up in four levels by master Jonathan Smith, which was only available on a Sinclair User cover tape in June 1988. Good to keep you entertained for some time; it's nothing earth-shattering, but the presentation shows all the class the late Joffa was capable of.

It's quite a nice game with great presentation but it's a bit too repetitive and I found it a bit too easy in that I went round the levels and back to level one in about 18 minutes. Not all bad but Special FX and Joffa did much better than this.
