Danger Girl is a hot comic book series that was asking to be a game for the Playstation. This game blows Lara Croft right out the water. I totally enjoyed Danger Girl and by the end of this review, you will too.

     I was expecting a game that played like Tomb Raider, but I was surprised to see that this game played more like the hot Syphon Filter. You have objectives to pull off, and radio contact is a must in this game. Your radio contacts provide you with much needed help and clues for your mission. You have to do everything from finding fuel in one area to filling up a generator to get the electricity going. Once the electricity is up, you have to get the surveillance systems running and then you must blow up a weapons cache before it can be used on America. All this in the first level! How is that for comic book excitement?

     The game is even more fun to play because of the excellent graphics. This is where the T for Teen rating comes in. There are three girls with some very girly figures. I mean puppies! Whoohoo!! Sorry for my sexism, but they utilize this aspect rather well in the game and often. The game mentions suggestive material, so parents, make sure you know this before allowing your child to play. As for the rest of the graphics, this game has that comic book feel, but also supplies us with some wonderful backgrounds, character designs and vehicular designs as well. It was truly a pleasure to roam through the levels, going from one objective to the next. It seemed like I was constantly discovering something new in places I had been just five seconds earlier.

     But nothing is perfect, the game play is not the greatest in the world. I had trouble maneuvering and got stuck in certain places. I couldn't open things up without struggling, and that is never fun. I also didn't like the auto aim feature in this game. If you have auto aim, you should be able to aim right. I had to fire off six shots before I killed someone, and I only had 12 bullets to shoot with. That got annoying. Thankfully, there are plenty of ammo refills lying around to pick up and use.

     Still, the fun factor is very high and the storyline is good enough to keep you wanting to play on until you finish it. While Tomb Raider has become a dying breed, Danger Girl adds some excitement to this genre. I can't wait for the sequel!

     Badseed's Bottomline: 4 out of 5. It could have been perfect, but this game is not Syphon Filter. It just plays like it. Other than that, this game is fantastic. If there is a sequel, some game play tweaking is in order. Everything else should stay the same or be improved even further. Everything from some excellent cinematic scenes, to the incredible graphics are what makes this game so much fun to play. The many different objectives and the beautiful, powerful girls should have every man drooling, and every woman ready to play. Lara Croft's career could be in DANGER.
