Future sports seem in vogue this month, and Tunnel Vision continues the trend.
Set in space, the game takes two players on a head-to-head contest in a
hologgraphically projected tunnel.
Each player has to find and capture a glowing orb and return it to the
goal line. The tunnel forms a continuous loop, and a designer is included
allowing circuits to be designed and saved out.
Two players may take part, as Tunnel Vision uses a split screen format,
similar to Pitstop II (the controls and general feel are uncannily similar, in fact).
The game's simplistic aim is fine, but the already limited amount of action is
interspersed with long periods of speeding around the tunnel with little else to
do but wait until the orb or the opponent, is encountered. Once collected, the player
must then carry the orb all the way back to the goal - a not entirely awe -
inspiring concept.
Superb graphics but a definite feeling of pointless - if you fancy a Rack-It
game, go for Anarchy.
