5.0 out of 5 stars Rare and excellent shooter for the mac!, October 21, 2003

By 

Tom Litwack (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I was probably one of the first to buy this game and play the full version, and I must say "wow"! This game is worth much more than just $20.00. Classic shootem up fans will certainly love this game with its full-screen one/two-player shooting frenzy, but there is much more to this game. The awesome sound track, cinematics, and storyline really make this game more than just another shooter. The 3 different character pilots, 5 different chargeable weapons [air and ground], in-game upgrade story to customize and upgrade your ship, and built-in networking support make this the best shooter for the mac i've played yet.

Give this game a shot. There should be a link to download the demo somewhere on the website at www.desoftware.com. You can also find reviews there [whenever they get posted].

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Game, October 21, 2003

Sweet game no doubt. The other guy summed up anything I'd have to say. The graphics and orchestrated cinematics are amazing, and the sound track intense. None of this overshadows the gameplay though, which is just almost perfectly executed. Two big thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars nice game, October 23, 2003

This review is from: Active Lancer (Mac) (CD-ROM)

Nice game. Great graphics and gameplay and an unusually good sound track for a game.. I just wish I could download the full version and enter in a registration code instead of having to wait for the cd to come. Other than that, runs pretty smooth and plays well. Built-in multi-player networking is a big plus. I give it a 4 1/2 stars and two thumbs up.
