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

Opening Snide Remarks: Captain Quazar is definitely one of the best 3DO games
of all time.

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

Gameplay Description: Captain Quazar is a wacky shooter.  You control Captain
Quazar in this strange little overhead shooter.  You run around completing 
mission objectives such as saving hostages and blowing up rockets before they
launch.  This is a lot of fun, but the game can get frustrating.  Also, any
game that has a rap theme song intro is different enough to be cool.  
Liked: Goofy shooter action.
Hated: Sometimes frustrating.

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

Graphics Description: The graphics of CQ are great.  They're 2-D sprites but
they look great.  They definitely help sell the cartoon aspect of this game.
The cinemas are great.  They are extremely funny.  
Liked: Great graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

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

Sound/Music Description: CQ sounds great.  The music is very cool.  The sound
fx are good, as well.  The voice acting is top notch and definitely helps 
sell the cartoon aspect.
Liked: Good music.
Hated: Nothing.

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

Play Control/Game Design: The controls are fine, but I hope if there's ever a
sequel made that they switch to a control setup like Robotron or Smash TV.  
The game design is great, but the game if frustrating in places.  
Liked: Good controls.
Hated: Frustrating gameplay.

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

Improve: Simpler controls. 

RIYL: Super Smash TV, Rorobotron 64.

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

Final Words: Captain Quazar is a wacky top-down shooter.  It's a blast to 
play adn it should not be forgotten.  This is definitely a must-have if you 
have a 3DO.
