You've seen the film, heard the song, now play the game!

The plot of the film is used for the game. You play Paul McCartney and you have lost the master tape of your latest chartbuster. Thus the game involves rushing around London in your car attempting to meet up with the members of your band. This is made easier by the fact that all the band use the tube and you have a computer in your car which tells you when any member of the band uses a travelcard.

When you manage to meet a band member he gives you as many notes of the song as he can remember until the whole song is recanted.

Give My Regards To Broad Street

The graphics are excellent and consists of a large map of London which scrolls in the direction of travel. Once outside a tube station the car can stop and then a view of the station is shown with a few famous landmarks in the background if appropriate. Sound consists of famous McCartney tunes such as Band on the Run and No More Lonely Nights.

The game is very difficult to master as one must first manage to control the car and then learn the likely movements of the band members from biographies on the inlay.

The game comes with a large map of London showing all the tube stations which must be memorised if any progress is to be made.

This game is excellent and highly recommended.
