Charlie a troubleshooter unwillingly helping the ICUPS (International Commission for Universal Problem Solving) is back in this, the sequel to the impressive Nodes Of Yesod.

The game follows on almost where Nodes left off. Charlie was investigating the transmission of vital data concerning the world's defences from the moon from a structure called the Monolith.

He returns in this game to destroy the Monolith which is in fact a very sophisticated computer designed for the purpose of aggression. Failure to destroy it will allow the machine's controllers the Ariatans to wipe Earth off the astrological map.

The resultant action is much the same as Nodes. Arcade adventuring with hundreds of locations and pretty graphics. As before, areas to explore exist above and below ground and you as Charlie wander through them in your spacesuit protected only by your destruction sphere.

Collect the crystals as before using the transporters to move quickly around the locations. These hold the key to the destruction of the Monolith.

If you've seen the original expect more of the same, but it you're a newcomer to the Yesod games you'll get a good arcade adventure for your money.

This is far better than Ultimate's recent output though it perhaps shows signs of making their mistake in finding a successful format and overdoing it.

A new game next time please to keep us all happy.
