What Kind Of Game Is This?
While the style is unique, 3-D World Runner is the definition of action. At no time during the game are you not in danger of dying. Worldrunner never stops running no matter what you do; all you can do is change his speed, jump, and fire missles if you have them.
What's The Point?
You see, in solar system #517, the evil Grax is terrorizing eight worlds with these serpents in the shapes of balls and snakes. And there's large pits on these worlds that require a super runner and a super jumper, and so...
That's Where I Come In?
Yes.
I'm Confused.
Yes.
So Is It Like Super Mario Bros?
Not really. Super Mario Bros. is a side-scroller, while here you run forwards, to the back of the screen. Your focus is on avoiding enemies, not killing them. Also, it's a heluva lot more intense; there's no time to breathe.
I'm Still Not Getting It.
Then play it! It's very easy to learn, very hard to master. There's a decent learning curve as well.
Why Is It Called 3-D?
You can play in 3-D mode if you have the right glasses! It doesn't really work well in emulators, but with the cartridge the world really jumps out at you.
So Who Would You Recommned This To?
Everyone. Half of you will enjoy it while half of you will get bored quickly. Regardless, it's worth a play.
