I was just wondering if anyone has played this awesome game. It was a PC game way back (i think its 9 years old now) and was an awesome little platformer made by Epic Mega Games (Now just Epic Games & Creators of Gears of War).
The game had the speed of sonic combined with cartoonish guns (Dont think shadow the hedgehog. Its nothing like that even though i like that game. This is nothing like that).
The game had some nice 2D graphics with different background effects in certain levels. It also had some great music too and good sound effects which suited the game.
The game has certain episodes to play through. Each of the episodes has a certain number of levels and on the final level there is a boss. In the first episode though there is a boss every 2 levels.
The game also has minor parodies of other games. For example the episode given in the demo had a parody of doom as its picture and also used the doom font for the episode logo.
The game also had a level creator but i cant really comment on this. Every time i use it and test the level it leaves afterimages that dont disappear. But ive seen other levels made with it so its obviously something im doing wrong.
The game features 2 different playable characters but the differences between them are minor. However an expansion pack was released with some extras added on including a New Character & New Episode.
The games difficulty is about easy to slightly hard. The game can be beaten easily on hard mode but it can still provide a challenge.
There are 10 weapons in the game (You switch through them with the number buttons) and all can be upgraded to a second version by finding a certain box in a level. The pistol can be upgraded to a second level but can also get fast fire which increases the speed the gun fires at. Eventually it shoots many bullets and shoots so fast that it basically goes from pistol to machine gun.
My words probably havent done the game much justice though since i dont explain things well lol. So have a try of the demo if you havent played it already :

This game had been lost for me for years but i recently came across the disk and have been playing it again. Looking back on it now it seems to have more glitches than i remember but its still a great game. Check it out.
