Opening Snide Remarks: When I first saw this movie, I thought it was awesome.
I had heard that this game was supposed to be good.  I hope it is.   

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Demolition Man follows the plot of the movie very 
closely.  The game is introduced with FMV from the movie, but then you play
from there.  Demoliton Man is one of those games that has several different 
kinds of gameplay in it.  Most of the game is a shooter in the vein of Virtua
Cop.  There's also a poorly done Doom-type part of the game and a fighting 
part which is okay.  But the meat of the game is the shooter part, which is
very fun to play.  Interspersed throughout the game is some FMV of Sylvester
Stallone and Wesley Snipes that was filmed specifically for this game.  This 
adds a really cool flavor to this game.    
Liked: When you set the difficulty to easy and Sylvester Stallone shows up 
and says "You Suck!".  It's very funny.  
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics are awesome.  The villains that you fight
are photo-realistic 2-D sprites.  They look great.  The FMV is really nicely
done, especially the scenes shot specifically for the game.   
Liked: Awesome 2-D sprites 
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: The music in Demoliton Man sounds like the score to
the movie.  It really gets you into the game.  The sound fx are great, as 
well. 
Liked: Excellent music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Alright, here's the area of Demoliton Man that is 
not all that great.  The controls vary depending on the game.  The shooter 
part controls very well.  The fighter part controls pretty well, but it's 
really simple.  The Doom-type game sucks because of the controls.  They just 
don't respond very well.  The game design is okay, but did there really need 
to be 3 types of games in one game. 
Liked: Good controls in the shooter part.
Hated: Bad controls in the Doom part.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Stick with the shooter part if a sequel to the movie ever gets made.  

RIYL: Virtua Cop, Virtua Cop 2, Crime Patrol 

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Demoliton Man is a great game.  It's one of the best shooters on
the 3DO, and there's a bunch of them.  By the way, did you know that the 
Wesley Snipes role in "Demoliton Man" was originally offered to Jackie Chan?
It's true, just imagine how different that movie would have been if he 
would've accepted it.  Anyways, Demolition Man is recommended to everyone who
likes shooters.
