WOW, what a great game!

It desperately needs randomly-generated dungeons and a more open gameplay concept.

To solidify its power, a planet-eater tracks down the only thing which could threaten it, the “matrix of power”, a device passed down from the leaders of a race of alien robots.

This was a deeply-moving movie for me as a child, though this impression was only possible because I grew up watching the original series. Re-watching this as an adult, it didn’t have anywhere near that impact.

Though I do still like it, I don’t know that I can recommend it, not just because it looks “old”, but because it requires so much context from the series. I think for the young these days this would look like a crappy old cartoon with decent, but old, rock music.

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.
