17/20
Unsuspected Super nova !

WHAT IS GREAT
- Unmissable great fun for arcadish gameplay lovers.
- A lot of fresh ideas, like the ability to program the Tachikoma robot and even jump in and drive it at anytime.
- Colorful cell-shading graphics very efficient to recreate the series ambiance.
- impressive choice of weapons, for the character and for the robot.

WHAT SUCKS
- Animation of the ennemies are sometimes basic.

SECRET
- After you've beaten the game, a new option appears in the menu : a little old school game in 2D where you can race as a Tachikoma robot !
