At the beginning of each mission you are given a briefing by your boss who keeps referring to you as brother', even though by no stretch of the imagination are you related to him. The game is played out over a series of missions. Your role in the game is that of an incredibly tough space marine whose job it is to board lots of different 'hulks' (empty spaceship bits, basically) and rid the world of nasty alien monsties called genestealers. For starters, the game's designers have managed to surpass the achievements of anyone else since Midwinter arrived on the pc many moons ago they created an action-based strategy game dripping with a tense, foreboding atmosphere without resorting to the ploy of dropping in highly unconvincing spooky noises at key moments. There are many reasons why the videogame world has elevated the game to cult status. Indeed, it's still widely regarded as an all-time 'strategy classic'. It wowed the public too, who promptly rushed out and coughed up their readies for it. When it was first released it wowed game reviewers across the land. Space who?įor those of you who aren't familiar with the game, it's basically a first-person perspective shoot 'em up with incredibly clever strategic elements. Before we delve deeper into that however, it might be an idea to bring those who have yet to be converted to the Space Hulk cause up to date. There's more to this version of EA's classic strategic blood-fest than initially meets the eye. So what you'll get for your money is basically more levels of the original Space Hulk game, with maybe a few graphical improvements, right? Well, not entirely.

It's identical in every way, but with a few exceptions, naturally (more on those later).

The Windows 95 version (ie the one under review here) is basically a straight conversion of Space Hulk 3D0. And to top it all off, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. It features a selection of the best missions the pc version had to offer, and has an entirely new campaign to boot. Well quelle surprise, the 3do version is even better than the pc original. I played the original pc version of Space Hulk to death, decided it was something pretty special indeed, and had only recently revisited this game of games in its 3D0 incarnation. Let's be honest about this, I knew what I was dealing with even before I sat down and loaded this game up.
