Unfortunately the third game in the compilation is ultimately disappointing. I had not played nor heard of this game until today and whilst I did install it for the purpose of this review it was quickly removed from my hard drive. The object of the game is to drive your tank around desolate areas of the map searching for energy capsules which you then drop back to your base. Whilst collecting this energy you will have to deal with a number of obstacles such as mines, tanks, force fields and sentries along the way. I think that the inclusion of Wild Metal in this review helps to highlight that whilst games such as GTA will always be playable others do get very old, very quickly. I had just as much fun playing GTA today as I did when I first played it eight years ago and the reason isn't graphics or sound effects but sheer playability. As a word of warning I wouldn't suggest anyone on dialup even attempt to download any of these games due to the sheer size of the files involved. Whilst the 350mb GTA2 took ten minutes to download on my broadband connection it would take literally days on dial-up - just because it's an old game don't expect to get away with using an old technology such as your 56k modem!
