Beat it! YEAH!!!! Questions though

Look for SPOILER in all caps if you don't want to ruin the game for yourself. Most of the early parts of this post are going to be just general feedback and impressions.

My biggest gripe is the completely ruined experience of the cut scenes throughout the game thanx to that CD 1 or 2 in the drive crap. It seems like every time I came to a point where there was going to be something interesting in the story I didn't have CD 2 in and I got to watch in complete silence. GOD THAT SUCKS. And instead of pressing esc and just reloading the game with the right CD, you are forced to watch the whole scene in agonizing silence. BTW make sure cd1 is in the drive when you beat the game.

SPOILER - Don't read any further if you don't want to ruin the game for yourself.

There was a whole lot of jumping in this game. For a while everything seemed to make a little sense but after the third jumping maze it lost it. Everything except for the Fans later in the game was really annoying. Kudos to the person who designed the jumping level with the fan towers. That whole scene was just frieking awesome. If all the jumping scenes could be that intense, well, I'd be the first to buy a mario suit.

Battles. Why were there not more battles with you as a member of a certain team. Early on the cops would fight along side you against the chots, but if you raised a gun to help they'd consider you hostile. Little ai bug. And what about Sex town. That was a big let down. I was expecting to see tons of people and shops and red lights, instead just a plain 3 or 4 level area. More detail there would have been nice. Was there supposed to be a point in that level that you fought it out with those flying machine gun ladies? I missed it if so.

In general, why didn't you put more situations in using your beautiful characters and less jumping stuffs? And the robotic girls again, I never saw one with a rocket pack, what happened there? You spent so much time making so many models and we never really get to see half of them in action. Disappointed there.

The ending. WTF!? First time I beat it the game froze up looking for CD#1, then i beat it again and I get a 10 sec movie ending? Is that was everyone else got? I'll eagerly await an addon or sequel, but what kind of ending was that?

In closing the game kicks ass, mainly because I like the idea to begin with of a corrupt future world that needs cleaning up. But there just weren't enough memorable scenes. Cybermage had a similar feel to this game but there were a lot of big battles and NPC's, that is what this game really lacked, interaction with the world. I guess the concept of the game lends to not have NPC's but more elaborate battles would have been fun.

BTW: Was there a point where I could drive a tank that I missed?

Wish list.
1. Quick mission creator, make a small level designed to have fire fights. Adjust the ai so there are teams. (IE designate everyone as friend or foe) Put in some weapon dispensers, and let us blow everyone to kindom come. I'd love to impail a behemeth with that spike gun, how sweet that would be.

What did others think of the game?
