I finally re-read it years later. What a shitty book. But I can see where the ideas in Johnny Mnemonic – (1995 movie) came from (same author). Also, the roleplaying games GURPS Cyberpunk and Shadowrun really do take from the genre. The roleplaying games are better than the book. =/

A Pretty boring elements-based game. Basically.. from memory, you must select the right combination of moves.

The scenery is boring. It’s a bunch of interconnecting rooms. You walk around and get lost, and have randumb encounters.

A 3d run-around game.

Properly titled Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc

Uncomfortable pauses during speech ruin any effect. Nobody has any expression whatsoever, either on their face or in their body language. The music and the speech is very enthusiastic, but it’s totally ruined by everything else.

It may as well be a playable demo.. it has more cutscenes than gameplay! It took nearly two hours to get to the first save point. There was a one hour wait to get from the first world to the second world’s first savepoint. It’s ridiculous! The damned game has ZERO player interaction.. it has potential, but it is completely wasted.
