Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 8.5
  • 10Okay, there's admittedly no real game here, but nonetheless an excellent example of how to maximize Allegro's functionality, and as such nothing less than ***** will do.
  • 6The game itself is a bit shallow, but a mild diversion and it makes great use of it's lighting effects.
  • 10the smoothest lighting this side of heaven.. the game itself isn't to hot.. but that isn't the point now is it?
