The TV advert for Red Dog:
showed no screen shots and only featured a man screaming at the top of
his voice. By the time you've read this review you'll know why.
It's a mission-based game that feels like driving around in a 4x4 in a Mad
Max-style post-apocalyptic landscape, the first being to search and destroy
the Haak mobile generator unit lodged inside a volcano.
The graphics are quite fun as your vehicle bounces around, righting itself
whenever you flip over, collecting power-ups, but it's nothing we haven't seen
before. The sound effects are standard and the soundtrack seems like Kraftwerk
at their least creative. It's also an incredibly difficult game to play,
targeting the enemies with out-of-control crosshairs while quickly getting
killed, taking you back to the last, sparse checkpoint with no game-save option.
