Loaded
Review from the Net


	All I can say is this, Loaded may not have the deepest gameplay, 
but it is easily the most FUN game I've gotten so far.  It's basically 
just Gauntlet on steroids, but I loved Gauntlet. :)  All of the characters 
are fun to play and they all have noticible strengths and weaknesses(so 
its not like playing the exact same thing with different char graphics).  
I've only gotten to the second level but the first level has a nice layout 
and is quite big, theres even a decent amount of hidden rooms.  I haven't 
gotten a chance for 2-player yet but I think that can only add to the 
game.  The only disappointment I've had so far is the fact that linking is 
not an option, I think a mag previewed it as supporting 4 players(2 per 
PS)with a link and I was really looking forward to that, oh well.

	Anywayz I guess I gotta do the number thing.

	Graphics:  9
	The graphics are extremely smooth, and I havent noticed any major 
slowdown.  The only prob is that the playing area is complex and the 
enemies tend to get lost in it all.  The zooming and persective is VERY 
nice tho, the lighting is in a class all its own.  The only time I've seen 
the 'terrain morphing' thing is with Mamma's mega-bomb, but if its used on 
an even larger scale that should be amazing.

	Sound:  8
	The sounds fit the game, but arent anything spectacular, the 
'squishy-body-blowing-apart' noise is quite nice. :)

	Music: 8
	The in-game music just seems right, altho its a tad repetitive.

	Gameplay: 10
	Sure its only running around mindlessly shooting things, but its 
fun!  The controls are perfect(altho I do change the default setting), it 
only took me about 2 or 3 minutes to be able to get the hang of it enuff 
to play decently.  One suggestion, put the 'strafe' button on one of the 
right shoulder buttons instead of the left where the default is.
	
	Overall: 9
	The game is extremely fun, but if only the sounds had a bit more 
OOOMPH to them.  The trail of dismembered bodies and piles of gore you 
leave in your wake is truly something to behold.  :)
