A few weeks ago we saw the remake of Flashback. the 1992 classic, being released on XBLA. Now we are due to see a PC release on 1st October, in just a few days.
For those who have never laid eyes on the original best-seller, I shall summarise the storyline for you: It’s damn good – play it and find out!
Despite its promising trailer showing memorable stages from the original plus additional high-action scenes extending what was, in reality, a fairly short game, the remake was not received mixed reviews scoring a mediocre 50/100 (subject to change) on Metacritic. I remember my first experiences of the original – sitting in my Uncles house watching him rendezvous with Ian to restore his memory…my 5 year old self then having a shot and failing drastically…goodtimes.
I feel that because of my love for original, I should give the remake a quick fondle, but will it spoil my fond memories and childhood experiences? Have you played it? Is it worth my time? Let me know below!

It’s alright, a bit buggy, and questionable dialogue but eh it’s a decent play through. You can also play the original, I just wish you could make that full screen or have some kind of screen adjustment feature.
Sounds like it lives up to its Metacritic score as being mediocre then. Saying that….It contains the original?! I’m sold.
I like it, I think I didn’t make that clear!
