Enemy Zero

Pour un premier jeu d'aventure sur PC, Sega signe une bonne réalisation. Il faut dire que Enemy Zero est l'oeuvre de l'équipe qui avait réalisé "D", ce n'est donc pas un hasard.

Irgendwie schon klar, warum Sega uns Deutschen das Enemy-Zero-Original für die hauseigene Saturn-Konsole vor zwei Jahren vorenthalten hat: Was Japaner in Verzückung bringt (blonde Render-Mädel und Simpel-Rätsel), lockt bei uns keinen Alien mehr hinter dem Brustbein hervor. Das Warp-Team u Kenji Eno hat scheinbar nichts aus dem in jeder Beziehung gruseligen Adventure "D" (Test in Ausgabe 5/96) gelernt, das ebenfalls grobe Designmängel enthielt: In zwei Stunden mußte das Spiel beendet sein, gespeichert werden durfte gar nicht.

I like the hybrid of adventure and FPS, and the mix actually works well here. The issue is that neither part individually is a shining example of its genre. I think there was the potential for greatness here if more care had been given into making a story worth playing, instead of a throwaway rehash. But with the final product, I think adventure fans aren't going to be engaged by simple item hunts, and would have a better time playing D. FPS fans are just going to laugh.

If you love lashings of video animations then Enemy Zero is worth a look, but otherwise the linear adventure path and the lack of originality fail to inspire. In the words of one colleague: 'You'd do Laura, but you'd be thinking of Lara.'

Wenn Spielheldin Laura nicht gerade an langweiligen Render-Rätseln tüftelt, jagt sie an Bord ihres Raumschiffs in zwar mäßig spannenden, aber technisch primitiven 3D-Actionsequenzen außerirdische Killermonster.

Enemy Zero sucks--really. That's a shame because this game had the potential to be a minor classic, but it falls short in numerous categories due to an abundance of niggling problems. Enemy Zero first saw life two years ago as a console game on the late Sega Saturn system.
