Dom Robinson reviews
THQ
The authority-types have gruff voices with which to boss you about as youprepare for the training missions, and once you’ve completed these then it’son to the real thing. However, it does play too much like so many other gameswhere you have to ‘fly about and sort things out’ with dogfights and missionsstarting with shooting down a flying tanker that’s about to crash.
Graphically Yager is very impressive. It’s colourful and flawless, ifa little bit cartoony at times. The music is okay but did seem the same orvery similar to the creepy mission music as Hitman 2. The sound FX are allaround you and certainly worth a listen.
Control of your ship takes some getting used to, but you can get to gripswith it eventually. Overall, try a rental first if you’re thinking of gettingthis title. It’s okay for a while but it does start to get a bit samey afterthat. If you don’t mind that and enjoy mission-based games in the sameenvironment (and I’m like that withGTA: Vice City)then this one could be for you.
