You could say this is
something like a software
industry version of a 12 inch
remix of a remix. You could...
but I won't. It's basically the
competition version of the
original Gyron game that was
used to put the Gyron
competitors through their
paces at the final showdown.
The winner apparently finished
the game in 18 minutes - an
amazing feat since I found it
hard to stay alive for that long
let alone complete the thing.
The gameplay is exactly the same as in the original - you wander round a maze shooting at towers. It's just the area of play that's been changed - there's still the smoothly moving vector style graphics which show your view down the trenches. And the cute little spinning status displays on the right of the screen. Also included on one side of the tape is an easy to follow graphic tutorial that shows you how to control the craft and what to look for in the maze. It's difficult to know how to judge Gyron Arena - if you didn't like the original there's no reason why you should get off on this. However if you were addicted to the original here's your chance to see whether or not you would have stood a chance of winning the Porsche. And if you missed out first time round, then this is still a really good buy at £1.99.
