Gee, another "Save the world from ending" game. In this platformer game, you play Conrad B. Hart, a man who had his memory wiped out after he overheard some plans about destroying the world. Now, his mission is to escape the facility where they locked him up and save the world. The visuals are really good and the gameplay is fun, with a lot of cinematics and video clips that explain the story further and all of this make up for a really interesting and exciting game, despite the cheesy and typical plot line. A few objections have to be made, though. The distance from one save point to the other is too large and that might make the player anxious and careless in his hurry to save his game before he dies, otherwise he would spend another hour redoing everything over again. Also, while interesting, the puzzles can become a bit repetative. But all those objection are minor and can be easily overlooked by the sheer fun and excitement the game provides. The platforms are beautifully designed and the animation is nice, although not very fast. The sounds effects are also good and realistic, but with no music. I recommend this game to all platform game fans with promises of a time well spent and a lot of fun. If you liked it, maybe you will like Out of this world, which is the game's spiritual predecessor.

Played this on Megadrive and it still looks as good now as it did then. As you know it was a combination of the ideas from the films Running man and total recall and the game was a brilliant follow-up. Fade to black was also a great game for PC. I will be downloading the PC version even though I still have the Megadrive.
