I agree with you completely. The games look terrific and the ideas are great, but like you said they are a bitch to get anywhere on. I'm not the ultimate game player, but i'm no slouch either. For example Obliterator, the game looks great, but I can't seem to get anywhere on it. This one probably isn't the best example because the interreation with the character on the screen is clumsy, but even on other Psygnosis games where it is strictly joystick action advancing in the game is tough. Glad to see I'm no








t the only one. 


By the way what are the cheat modes?
