SEGA Saturn

In the Hunt

In The Hunt's soundtrack isn't remarkable, but it does call to mind those glorious days when 16-bit ruled. There's just one thing that prevents In The Hunt from achieving greatness, and that's the heinous slow-down that occurs when the action heats up. It's hard to ignore in the single-player mode, and it practically ruins an otherwise terrific two-player simultaneous mode. In The Hunt is a fun game, but it seems like the hardware is struggling to keep up every step of the way.

How pathetic must Imagineer's programmers by if they can't even do decent 2-D on the Saturn? This one has embarrassing slow down, extra loading time and a Genesis quality soundtrack, none which is present in Xing's far superior Playstation version. Still basically a good game but there are far better titles out there.

Even though the Saturn version retains the look of the original game, it experiences occasional instances of slow-down in certain situations. While that's not a huge problem, it's still distracting at times.

While it was ignored at the time because of its 2D look, there's no reason you should ignore this classic Sega Saturn game (that is also available on the original PlayStation). If you still can't get over the 2D look, then perhaps you should check out the equally awesome PlayStation 2 sequel, Sub Rebellion. Either way you go, you won't be disappointed with this forgotten franchise.
