Double Switch

The Good
Double Switch builds upon the Full Motion Video game play mechanics of Night Trap. The player must switch between a series of hidden cameras in order to trap villains, protect people, solve puzzles and, if you are especially skilled, crack a mystery.

The Windows edition of Double Switch features much better Full Motion Video, in comparison to the Sega CD edition, and the B-production values look and feel more ambitious than what was featured in Night Trap.

The Bad
My complaints with Double Switch are similar to the problems with other "interactive movie" games.

Success in Double Switch requires the player to memorize which cameras and which traps are needed at a specific time. There is little room for error. This means re-watching the same Full Motion Video clips again and again, until you are victorious or, as may be the case, too frustrated to continue playing.

While Double Switch clearly had a bigger budget than Night Trap, it is still offers up a steady diet of B- acting, cheesy dialogue and an assortment of standard villains.

The Bottom Line
Double Switch offers fans of the interactive movie genre an enjoyable Full Motion Video experience.
