Guerrilla War Zzap Review

After the excellent conversion of Operation Wolf, I expected to see some fairly good work from Ocean's sub-label. Instead, what we have in Guerrilla War is an absolutely pathetic attempt at recreating the arcade game. The sprites are a mess, hardly looking human shaped, never mind detailed! The backgrounds are just as bad, giving no impression of depth at all. In fact everything about this game is poor; even the packaging is just a photograph of the arcade cabinet (wot a cop-out!). I recommend that you give Guerrilla War the attention it deserves: that is, none at all!

Well, if your Valentine's contemplating buying you a computer game next month with loads of big slobbery kisses all over it, make sure the box that plops through your letterbox with a big red ribbon round it isn't Guerrilla War. Unless you like messing about with badly drawn, blotchy graphics and virtually non-existent gameplay that is. I'm as fond of your average mindless shoot'em-up as the next okapi, but I really draw the line at a product as bitty and boring as this. If you do somehow manage to get hold of a copy, forget all about playing it and try and use it in a cheese and pickle sandwich instead.
