Nice review. I did this game a long way back and remembered reviewing it simply due to your description of the voice. Seems mocking the "I can't hold it" is the only part of my review I can remember, but I'm thinking I somewhat shared your belief that this is a forgettable game, so that's probably the reason for my lack of any gameplay memories.

Thanks, dude. I skim read yours before I wrote mine -- only skimmed because I didn't want to be swayed in any way -- but have since read it properly. Also, a good review. I think you liked the game a tiny bit more than I did, but you wrote it a long time ago and you'd probably like it less today.

Out of curiosity, I checked to see what the shooter I reviewed before Vapor Trail was and found out that it was...SILVER SURFER. So playing this after that probably auto-raised my Vapor Trail score by at least a point. Because "nothing special" comes off as looking pretty damn good after you just experienced sheer incompetence!

Ha, I never played Silver Surfer, but I've heard terrible things about it. Between playing Vapor Trail on the rebound from Silver Surfer's stink, and reviewing it over a decade ago... I'm thinking you'd give it a 1.5 today.
