Classic Game Review: The Centurions 1987

You will not do the introductions Gaz Top, but the next best thing might be Tony Crowther. Together with Ross Goodley, Tony was responsible for the design of the PC version of Centurions, the cult cartoon series, which features on ITV's Get Fresh. Tony was also responsible for Ariolasoft's Challenge of the Gobots, while his previous work includes the popular and playable games such as Loco, Express Suicide and Grief.

The Centurions are basically a team ofclean living people, aided and abetted by a girl who takes control center. Sky bolt while the guys are fighting against the evil Doc Terror. Doc and his minions are always ready to destroy the world, and it is up to defeat the Centurions with their exoskeletons and bolt-on systems to the forces of evil. "Power Extreme", the call is emitted as equipment from their place basis. Bolton goodies can turn on a Centurion in a human combat helicopters, combat submarine or jet fighter.

TheGame has three multidirectional scrolling levels, to negotiate with labyrinthine landscape. To find hidden between the layers you have keys that were on the islands in the middle of the air, sea or land. Starting as a droid, touching one of three pads (air, sea and land) can be changed in one of the three Centurions: Ace, Max and Jake. A Centurion specializes in one of the three types of terrain and is capable of collecting keys from areas that specialize in that it - even thoughvisually.

Assault Pack

An attack pack behind him, if has enough evil henchmen shot and it allows the collection of nine additional weapons are screwed up and used. Cases with a deadly chemicals are also scattered over the countryside and collected on foot into it - in some cases more than once. If the cases are not picked up, Doc Terror is to get hold of them and use the content to destroy the world.

A second player can join the action at any timeTime and work with Player One as a team - making the Centurions doubly efficient (do not expect if only because one can fly the Good Guys, move him to be in a position above the water).

The image of Doc Terror makes an occasional appearance and scares the Centurion enough to turn him back into the droid - is the difference between the three heroes almost unnoticed capable. It's time again to change the pads back into a superhero exoskeleton before resuming the search forKey.

SIGNIFICANCE

A captain is not structured very well and has little relevance for the TV series - other than the names used in the scenario. As a shoot 'em up, it failed to maintain the slow, monotonous rhythm, and it certainly can not be categorized by genre in any other way, because it strategy or adventure in the game play is not enough.

This really is a maze game with some attractive extras. Runs backwards andforward to change from land to sea to air to get the key is troublesome to say the least - very little else happens in between. Even the extra weapons makes little difference to what is essentially an uninspired concept.

My rating for this game is 1 of 5
