Reviews for Extreme (#1699)

Graphically this is as good as a Perry/Bruty game can be, gameplay wise I felt something was lacking though.

A extremely colourful game.

This game cover most of what I think a Spectrum game should be.

Amazing graphics, it gets the max from the Speccy capabilities. It's also very playable and it has a decent 48k intro tune. Besides, its difficulty is in the sweet spot for me.

Definitely, a real spectrum gamer must have a go at this.

SmashTV is not a bad game but it made me remember some of the best games from D.Perry
I think Extreme is s nicely good example. It plays well and looks good
That crashed UFO makes me get inspired

Extremely... boring.

This is not a game, this is a techdemo of what Nick&Dave could do with Spectrum. Graphics is huge and colorful, everything is moving, explosions are everywhere... But sadly, there is no good game there. The first level is ok (althrough I cannot get rid of the thought that the whole escort mission is there just to make the level last much longer than it should), but next two levels are not interesting to play at all. Still graphicslly impressive, yet they hardly contain any gameplay.

This thing sould be on a some magazine covertape, not sold for the full price.

It's good that we can play it for free now. Do it once to see the usual technical quality of Perry and Bruty works, but don't expect it to be a good game.

I'm going with "poor" rating, because 'cmon, tech demo should not be sold as a game, especially not as a full priced game.
