ALTERED t BEAST Activision - C64 - .C14.99 E9.99 disk/ cassette Gordon Hamlett waits for a full moon before taking a look at Activision's lates release. What's a were- I N I wolf? Shut up and comb u myour face! It is a well known m y fact that the Gods on Mount ! Olympus did not always M live a life of perfect harmony. Indeed, they seemed u to be constantly at loggerheads m with one another. m The only advantage was y that being gods, they didn't ! actually have to get their own hands dirty. Instead, they would just toss a few thunderbolts around and influence the lives of a couple of mortals to go and do their dirty work for them. Anyway, it appears that the goddess Athena (should be Athene) has got herself captured by Nelf the Evil Lord of the Underworld (why invent a name? What's wrong with calling him Dis or Pluto?). Zeus decides to rescue her but instead of doing it himself, empowers you, a dead centurion, (note the subtle switch from Greek to Roman mythology methings that whoever wrote this was not a classicist) with the strength of some of the most fearsome beasts in the kingdom. So it is that you embark on this adventure, shapeshifting as you become more and more powerful. <strong>Your</strong> various guises include that of a strongman. were-wolf, bear, were-dragon, were - tiger and golden wolfman. Despite my mocking it, the storyline sounds reasonably inventive. It is only when you actually start to play the game, that you realise that you've been here before. Yes, the game is yet another beat-em-up, and not a very good one at that. As you wander along each section, so there are hordes of zombies and the like for you to kill. The problem is that this is all too easy. Each of your incarnations has a special weaponsuper strong punch, fi re breathing and so on. All you have to do is to find out how best to use that weapon. For example, on the first level, crouching down and punching will see off all your opponents. The only exception are the creatures that spring at you. These are the important ones, since when you destroy one of these, they release a 'spirit ball' which bounces round the screen. Catching this effects your metamorphosis. The rest of the game is pretty dire too. The graphics are dreadful - very fuzzy and unclear. Scrolling too leaves a lot to be desired. You sped most of the game on the right hand edge of the screen waiting for the background to catch up. All in all, this game's a very poor effort and should be left well alone. YOUR COMMODORE
