Brainpipe: A Plunge to Unhumanity

Brainpipe is a neat idea that is destroyed by a fatal gameplay flaw. The mouse control is no good. Considering that all you’re doing in the game is racing down a tunnel and dodging obstacles and collecting items, mouse control is pretty key, and it’s just plain bad in this title. The feel of guiding your reticule (which is oddly old-school blocky contrasted with the rest of the game’s future LSD funk look) around the screen is akin to driving a really old car with a steering wheel that sticks.
