Summary

Be a Blade Runner

The Good

In Skyhammer, you’re a hired mercenary pilot flying a helicopter-like aircraft in a futuristic ''Blade Runner'' city, shooting enemy tanks, other aircraft and picking up valuable packages. Skyhammer has really nice, intuitive controls. I like the way that while being shot at from behind, a Skyhammer pilot can simply roll 180 degrees upwards (or downwards) and fly upside down at the enemy while launching a missile or two. The controls are also quick to respond. I also love Skyhammer's graphics. They’re much smoother than most other 3D Jag games, and do a good job of creating the illusion of being in a true 3D environment.

The Bad

The sound effects and music are okay, but nothing special. When I first sat down and tried playing Skyhammer I found things very confusing and difficult to figure out. The first couple of hours were frustrating as I kept getting killed off with little warning.

The Bottom Line

I rate Skyhammer as one of the better games for the Jaguar
