Chase HQ review - Nintendo Gameboy

Raymond and Tony are two mean, strutting Miami Vice-type dudes, who travel the 3D scrolling streets in their armoured Porsche, barging criminals off the highways in thrilling, excitement-laden all-action car chases.

There's five levels in this game and each one starts by first apprehending your target (60 seconds are put aside for this) and then barging his turbo-powered mean machine off the road - you've got another 60 seconds to complete that task before Nancy, Chase HQ's co-ordinator sends you merrily along to your next mission.

What the Mean Machines staff thought

I had very high hopes for this, but they were dashed as soon as I saw the unrealistic, jerky 3D graphics and heard the incredibly awful sound. Playability is very low due to an awful control method, and all it takes is a few good goes to put you off playing for good.

Something's definitely wrong here. Jerky 3D, awful graphics and wobbly sound combine to make the Gameboy version of Chase HQ a grave disappointment. The gameplay's awful as well and the Porsche is barely controllable. Nothing at all like the monster arcade machine.
