Stargate

Through The Gate!

You and your team find yourselves on a strange, new world after passing through the ancient StarGate. Now you face an ancient enemy by the name of Ra. Ra has used his power to enslave the people of this world. He orders them to mine for quartz which powers the machine that keeps him eternally youthful. As Colonel Jack O'Neal you are determined to free these oppressed people, find your men and take them home. All you have to complete this mission is your radio, machine gun and hand grenades that you find along the way.

FIRST IMPRESSION

The thing that I first noticed about this game was the attention to the animation of the main character. Another thing that hit me right off the bat was the loose control. To be fair, I must say that once I got used to the control, it got a lot better.

BEST FEATURE

The animation and the story line are the two best things about this game.

WHATS MISSING

I played through a lot of the game and I never faced any Bosses. I think that the lack of Bosses really hurts the structure of the game, because you're not really sure if you completed a level or not.

WILL YOU LIKE IT?

If you liked the movie, you will probably like the game. It's always cool to take on the role of someone who is a hero in the movies. Also, if you're into cool character animation you might want to check this out.

DIFFICULTY - MODERATE

THEME - Action

NUMBER OF PLAYERS - 1

You know a game's really far out when Jaye Davidson is the final boss.

In Acclaim's StarGate for Genesis, you're the buff and brainy Colonel Jack O'Neil, assigned to retrieve his men and a nuclear bomb from the clutches of Ra and his ancient Egyptian goon squad.

Collect earthly and alien weapons as you blast and radio your way through shifting sands, catacombs, and miles of desert.

With lots of missions and puzzles, digitized backgrounds from the flick, and some solidly fun game play, StarGate packs real pyramid power.
