Game Score: 5/10

Graphics : A bit tacky, the main character is a bit weird with her out of this world hair swirling around constantly. All in all, graphics look more like an old DOS game than what we've witnessed with GBA graphics so far. However there is nothing here that stops you from enjoying the game.

Music/Sounds : GAH! This is irritating for the some parts, the same tune plays on and on except for boss battles. In the game mechanic a beeping sound is heard whenever a key card is in a room... it doesn't stop unless you collect the damned thing. Aside from that the sounds are pretty blend.

Gameplay : Now this is my personnal grudge; it's an isometric game and a shooter at that, however they use 4 directions only for your character/sprites, but that doesnt stop bosses to be able to shoot in all 8 directions...! Also the isometric views are badly exploited, for instance, there will be a door that will open at some point in the beginning of the game, however the perspective allows you to see only the top of the wall... You kind of have to guess and try..

Now aside from this fact the game itself has interest in the fact that you have limited time to do anything at all, meaning you'll have to evalutate if fighting is the best thing to do at some point or another. The weapon system is based on a rock/paper/scisor system, meaning some weapons will work wounders against certain ennemy types, but will actually boost up others and so on.

The game concept/story itself is a _total_ rip-off of Metroid:Fusion, mixed in with Rockman(or Megaman whatever..) as for some gameplay issues(weapon types and so on). Even the main character is cheap mix and match of Zero and Samus... (that kinds of explains the hair though..)

All in all it isn't a bad game, it's however nothing to brag about.. It is a decent challenging game for you people looking for something to beat the crap out of.
