~3D Lemmings
Reviewed by Dynamo.
-------------------
Are you from Mars or have you been in a remote part of El Salvador?
If so, you may be forgiven for not knowing what a lemming is. Yes,
the furry haired little creatures are back with an inexplicable
desire to cash in it's chips.
Your role is to make sure that the 'species' don't come to an
untimely end by going 'splat' but instead going 'yippee'. The aim
is to get as many Lemmings to the end of the level. Well this may
sound familar so far but hold for the major head exploding part.....
...3D Lemmings brings a whole new dimension to the games and a lot
more problems for you to puzzle over. The new dimension is a new
concept to the game, and will leave you coming back for more. At the
beginning as you are getting use to the game you will intially be
baffled - you won't really know where to start - but it will soon
come to you and then you will be left in a frenzy as you are left
with wanting more.
You can click on the little lovelys assigning them to different
tasks such as builder, climber and the new turner whos jobs is to
turn the Lemmings 90 degrees. While all this is going on your
other hand is controlling the camera view. Neat. Occasionally it
can be tricky to get the camera to just the right place or you begin
to curse, wishing for a auto camera to follow the leading Lemming but
you can usally see what's going on.
The graphics are stunning, they will leave in a fit of rage wishing
other games had this sort of juice. The colours on the game and the
background are simply brilliant. It would be nice to see other
companies taking the time and effort to producing such detail. The
sound is just a good, especially when the lemmings die.
It could have been better if it had a two player options, letting two
people relish as they play. It could have been even if people say it
can't, even crap game have two player modes, so why can't this?
It would have been dead easy for 'Psygnosis' to have put out more
Lemmings game creating more profit etc. But no, they have excelled
in producing a classic and original game such as this and totally
changing the Lemmings game.
