In
the Hunt is a side scrolling submarine shoot-em-up from THQ and Xing
Entertainment which you may remember playing in the arcades a few years ago.
Terrorists
are launching an attack on the population of Earth from their underwater base
and it is your mission to put an end to these atrocities.
The game is
split into two levels, above sea and below it with enemy subs providing the
underwater threat and swooping choppers to contend with on the surface.
Your
submarine is armed with three main weapons which are torpedoes, depth charges
and surface to air missiles.
The graphics have been captured superbly
from the arcade version and are almost identical, but unfortunately the speed
that your sub moves is extremely slow. This proves frustrating as during the
majority of the game you are under heavy attack and quick reactions are
essential.
