Cyber Cross is a horizontally scrolling beat-'em-up in which the player takes control of a fighter who's capable of transforming into a heavily-armed robot.

The game is split into several levels, each with a tough guardian at the end - on level one you have to fight a fire-breathing dragon.

It's action all the way as hordes of baddies attack from either side of the screen, but there are plenty of transformer icons and extra weapons to pick up - if you can stay alive long enough to collect them.

The graphics are excellent, with crisp, smooth-scrolling backdrops and beautifully drawn and animated sprites. The sound is also very good, with a wide variety of soundtracks and some meaty effects.

Cyber Cross is hard, but has that essential addictive quality to keep you glued to your PC Engine for hours at a time. It's been overshadowed somewhat by other PC Engine releases this month, but nevertheless it's a game that shouldn't be overlooked.

A novel twist on the beat-'em-up theme with plenty of action and lots to do. Check it out if you're after something a little different.
