N20 sports some of the most neon-infused, brain-twisting graphics imaginable. You�ll be awestruck by detailed explosions, creepy en- emies, and twisting, churning corridors. Playing N20 is like swimming�wait a half-hour after you eat before you dive in, or you�ll hurl faster than a freshman at a frat party.
What you get with N20 is a fuller, more detailed, albeit less speedy version of Tempest 2000. And although the game does quicken slightly, depending on how many bugs you fry or the type of craft you employ, it never reaches the peak speeds of Wipeout; however, with all the action on-screen, you may find too much speed is a bad thing.
But the game excels in other areas: The sound, for example, is phenomenal if you�re a Crystal Method freak. That band�s pounding house sound dominates N20 and fits the action like a wet T-shirt. Other bonuses include customizable craft and a two-player single-screen mode, so you and a friend can rock the PlayStation without a reduction in screen size. In the end, N20 is definitely worth the price of admission, and is a great shooter for your library.
