Exodus

Exodus should get a prize for the most glittering colourful loading screen. It almost jumps out and grabs you by the throat. If left to its own devices, it then goes into a demo-mode which gives very concise playing instructions and a demo of the game itself.

The plot is relatively simple, but the screen layout is a refreshing change for this invader-type game. Your laser base rotates around the periphery of a black hole, from which emerge strange objects, from televisions with legs to mutant llamas.

The creatures expand, creating a 3D effect, before moving to the edge of the hole and escaping. You must zap them before they affect their escape. However, keep your wits about you, as one of the creatures is your friend, Spud, and in the frenzied activity, zapping Spud loses you a life. In addition, letting any mutant llamas out means instant loss of life.

With good music, good graphics, three black hole types, user-definable keys or joystick option, Exodus should keep invader fans looking for something that little bit different amused for hours. Well worth the money.
