Forsaken

So what dat er geen multiplayer-optie aanwezig is bij deze PSX-versie. Er zit zoveel spanning en sensatie in deze game, dat er in je eentje (of met z'n tweeën in Pandora's Box, het Death Match level) ook meer dan genoeg te beleven valt.

One of the first games I played on the PSX way back in '95 was the conversion of the PC hit Descent. I loved this title but with almost 30 levels to plough through I have still not made it right to the final climax. It was so easy to think of an excuse not to complete this game - the complex design of the mining tunnels meant I was constantly getting lost, or the 360° dog fights scrambled your vision, or maybe a slightly better game always seemed to come along. Whatever the excuse I swear that one day I will return to conquer Descent.... after I have beaten Forsaken first, of course. Time to cut the crap - this is Descent 3. It may have the most jaw-dropping graphics on the Playstation to date, it may offer futuristic bikes instead of the rickety old shuttle but behind all of the glamour the gameplay remains the same. There's nothing wrong with that, only I hope it doesn't take me another three years to grind through all of the new missions.

Forsaken är ett vackert spel som bjuder på en enorm spelkänsla, imponerande omgivningar och högar med tungt artilleri. Många spel utger sig för att erbjuda det här, men det är sällan man får allt samtidigt och dessutom förpackat i en så här schysst produkt.

The PlayStation version of Forsaken is on the bottom of the pile. Both the PC and N64 versions surpass it in almost every category. However, the PlayStation version is still a good game once you get past the control problems, so if you're without a PC or N64, pick up the PlayStation version without fear.

If you own a Playstation and envy all those PC people who can play their tunnel crawling space games, this is exactly what your looking for. But overall, the conversion from PC to Playstation has failed very badly. In any case, it doesn't come with the calendar filled with barely legal pictures of the Forsaken chick, so why bother?
