    It's a fantastic title, but for a very narrow audience. It's not a game for everyone, as both the antiquated gameplay and the high difficulty curve can be definite turn-offs.

    The video game equivalent of a hand-crafted reproduction of Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose -- laborious, archaic and best left to fanatics. That's not to say it's a bad game, though. On the contrary, it's great... but only if you evaluate it in the context of what it actually is.
