Product ReviewsDouble Switch (Sega Saturn, 1995)

Pick it up if you like these games, but don't pay much for it.

I remember owning this game back when it came out on the Sega CD. Great cast and an interesting concept for it's time. Some would say it's not really a game as much as it is a movie. My only problem with calling it a movie is that you really don't get to watch most of it... You are usually busy going from room to room trapping the bad guys that you end up missing a lot of the story. So you miss what is going on, and sometimes not sure who to trap.

The Saturn version is nice that it comes in clearer than the Sega CD version and makes more use of the screen. It's a Digital Pictures release who made other Full Motion Video(FMV) games for various systems. Like Night Trap you are basically watching security cameras which are strangely placed in these people's apartments... You go from room to room watching video clips and wait for them to trigger a trap. Problem is that you are not always sure which trap to set so you will need to memorize a lot of it as you progress. Some if not a lot of people will get tired of watching the same cut scenes over and over again. Nice thing is that at the end of each act has a save point.

It's fun to pick up and play through every once in awhile, but don't expect much. Luckily it has a pretty good cast. No challenge or strategy here. This game is mostly about memorization.Read full review...
