Hitchhiking along in the desert, a car finally stops. The driver lets you climb in the backseat of his Bel-Air and then cruises on.... INTO THE SKY. As you fly through space, your driver, a lizard, tells you of the Evil Warlord (shown Left) who's trying to take "the void" and compress it into a jewel.. and you have been recruited to stop him. That'll teach you to accept rides from strage lizards.


Laser Lords has an intriguing title, but that's where the intrest ends. To start with, while the images of the CGI rendered villan above may look cool... actually, it's one of a 6 frame animation, not full FMV.

Second, the whole premise is pretty lame. I mean, why not just stop by Yanni's house and pick him up too while you're at it?


Third, the actual game graphics are reminicent of Faxanadu for the old NES, only much worse. Your character has about 9 frames of animation for all that he does. The only redeeming quality of the game is that they added an RPG aspect to it so you'd feel like you were interacting with the game more. Sadly though, even that could'nt save this title.



Finally, sound... or what there was of it. My god! Could they have made the voice actors any more bland & boring? The scarce, yet painfully repetitive music didn't help any either. Fortunatly though, all the spoken words are also in text on screen (as shown right) so if you're gonna play, you can at least put on some cool tunes, and not lose anything.
