Down&Out is a simple shoot-down-the-enemy-plane game. I think it is a nice little game, not quite addictive, but nice nonetheless.

Gameplay: 7/10

It's not got much, but what it does have is good! This game caught my attention for the fun gameplay. Only thing I thought was a little bit odd: shouldn't the other guy be shooting at you?

Graphics: 8/10

The graphics were nice-looking and detailed. The game is realtively fast with them, and although some of them were a bit line-drawing-y, the graphics are nice enough to draw attention.

Speed: 8/10

This game runs at quite a good speed. I did not have to wait at all, and I was able to keep getting shots at the enemy plane as it whizzed past my windshield.

Replayability: 4/10

While the game is basically the same, there are some things that add depth to it. For one thing, there's a high score slot, so you keep coming back to try to beat it. For another, you can turn your view left and right--but doing so takes fuel, which is tallied up in the high scores!

Style: 7/10

The game did look pretty cool. While the opening screen is just a standard dialog box, the game itself more than makes up for that.

Ease of Use: 6/10

The game was easy to use, but I had a few beefs. For one thing, there's no manual, so I had to figure out the controls myself (Left and Right arrows rotate your view; Up arrow fires). Also, when quitting, it changed my current folder to MAIN, even though I had switched to the DOWNNOUT folder fefore running it. It found this a bit puzzling when I went to play again.

Gut Intuition: 7/10

The dialog box that is the main menu of this game gave no hint of what was inside, but I'm glad I kept going. I think this game is quite a nice little game. Not quite at the level of addictive, but a nice little game still.

FINAL SCORE: 6.7142857/10

If I had to say what could be done to make this game better, I would say

1) Make the other plane shoot at you!

Other than that, you've got nothing to worry about!
