"From jungle runs to space ships!"

~ Introduction ~

Flashback is a platform game, you can compare it with Prince of Persia or jak & daxter or all those other platformers.

~ Game Play ~ 9/10

You play with a guy that crashed on a primitive world, you have a gun and there are little robots everywhere. You can jump over cliffs, climb up to things and other stuff, when you're farther in the game you can do other stuff like walking in cities and visiting people. You have to use tools like guns, flashlights, sticks, knives and so on to work your way through these huge levels.

~ Story ~ 9/10

You're in a mothership but robot people are shooting you so you escaped but they shot your space ship, it crashed on a very primitive world. Work your way through jungles, sewers, cities, houses, space ships and so on, the main goal is to find a way back home . . . to Mother Earth :) but unfortunately because you lost your memory you will never find a way back home so you decide to freeze you in and let you float in the empty space until someone finds you or you die. It's a sad but very beautiful and exciting story.

~ Graphics & Music ~ 9/10

These are very detailed and are pretty interactive. Your character looks pretty good and can duck and jump and all this looks very realistic. The levels are beautiful, the jungles and cities, sewers, space ships and stuff look really cool. Also the cut scenes are just beautiful, they aren't in 3D but I don't care it's cool to watch them over and over again, especially the intro and ending movie.

The music is OK but that's it, sometimes it's scary other times it's fun to hear the music or even sometimes it's very annoying. When you shoot or walk you'll hear the movements and the gun.

~ Play Time & Replay Value ~ 9/10

Play for hours and hours through these huge levels ( I believe there were 12 or something like that in total, could be a lot more) It's always fun to replay this game, it never gets boring.

~ Overall ~ 9/10

This is a good game, very nice cut scenes and never gets boring, you must have this game!

Rent or Buy? Buy this game!
