Enter a world of treachery, revenge, really big guns and even bigger spaceships as you take on the role of Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter in this promising new shoot-'em-up adventure.
Although at first sight it appears to be just another sci-fi first-person shooter, Mace Griffin soon reveals itself to have rather more ambition than that. Although mission based, the structure of the game is such that you can tackle things however you want, not just choosing between a stealthily or more gung-ho approach but opting to pop into your spaceship at any point for a bit of dogfighting or to access a different part of the level.
Controlling your ship is extremely easy and the whole space-combat simulator aspect of the game is very well designed and doesn't seem at all like a tacked on mini-game. Further innovation is evident in the nature of your missions--you're not just an assassin but have to act as everything from bodyguard to computer hacker as you pay the bills with collected bounties, while at the same time trying to find out who it was that betrayed you at the beginning of the game and forced you to spend 10 years in the clink.
The graphics are more than up to the job of making such a complex game look and feel realistic, especially as there are no loading delays and the transition into and out of your spaceship is seamless. The audio is pretty good too, with rock bad boy Henry Rollins voicing the eponymous antihero. So if you want to try a shooter with a bit of a difference, keep your eye out for Mace Griffin. --David Jenkins
