I remember when a demo for this was circulating - it was just the 3D grid surface which back then, was considered gorgeously-amazing. Everyone was waiting to see what the actual game-play would be like. There were so many delays, we all began to worry that Synapse had a tech demo with no game concept. Well, turns out we were right. The gameplay felt slapped on. Visually awesome, but a disappointed from the greatest 3rd party company back then. Hard to believe this was done by the same developer behind Fort Apocalypse.

pretty cool 3-d shooter although is does get boring after a while. I could never seem to find the end. Try encounter! first, then try landscape for a little more action.
