Once you manage to get past the frustrating first section, an infinitely superior game is waiting for you on the second load.

Presentation is first-class with realistically animated, superbly defined characters and an amazing James Bond-style title track.

Navy Moves

A brilliant arcade adventure only slightly marred by a cruel first level.

Phil

The best thing to do with Navy Moves is ignore the ridiculously hard first section altogether. Thankfully, the second section is easier and much more playable as a result.

Because of the limited ammo, this isn't a mindless shoot-'em-up, but instead a thought-provoking arcade adventure. A rhythmic soundtrack and detailed graphics complement the gameplay. Navy Moves is stylishly presented and fun for a while at least.
