Only one complaint - and that's the choice of keys.\r\nRyan Davis","It's quite fast, but slows down considerably if the player fires continuously. And there's little variation between the four screens, which makes it boring in a matter of minutes.\r\nStewart McPherson","Speed, colour and graphics are all just above average, but perhaps the graphics could have been a little better considering this is a 48K game. Overall, a poorly presented Defender conversion.\r\nPeter Shaw"],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"56","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Ryan Davis","Score":"","ScoreSuffix":""},{"Name":"Stewart McPherson","Score":"","ScoreSuffix":""},{"Name":"Peter Shaw","Score":"","ScoreSuffix":""}],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":null,"CompilationReviewScores":[]}]}]
