You control a nutty Russian guy encased in a 40-ton, armed-to-the-teeth
robot in a battle to save the Earth from aliens. Krazy Ivan has taken
the mech suite theme and altered it slightly. Instead of fighting
in open terrain against an army of mechs, you're placed in an arena
for single combat, which makes it something of a mech brawler. In
between the combat arenas, you get harassed by other war machines
en route to your next battle. Once all the enemies in each stage have
been vanquished, you destroy the enemy generator and free the sector.
The game is incredibly well animated, and every stage is half blanketed
in fog, which initially looks cool, but really only serves to hide
the graphics limitations. And while the stages are set all over the
world, they're all laid out relatively the same. The one-player mode
is easily beat in just a few hours, but the two-player mode can be
very entertaining. In the end, Krazy Ivan is a good, solid game. It's
just a little too short. |
