 A magnificent action movie, on the same
mehhomy to the movie "DARKMAN". B
the game is pretty decent
graphics, especially at longer distances
them levels. The plot and music too
simply excellent.                
 In general, what is the essence
games: you need to get to the leader
mafia (as far as I remember his name is
Duran) and destroy him. In the beginning
you just go ahead and extinguish
everyone along the way. 3atem, between levels-
nyami, we need to make a biomask,

 Exciting auto racing with
all sorts of bells and whistles. Well, first of all
out, the car has four
contents: engine, tires, body and
fuel.Secondly, you have
money with which you can buy
let go of all sorts of bells and whistles (missiles,
turbo boosters, etc.), from which
which are of little use anyway, maybe
but buy faster ma-
tires, the money you earn for
prizes.                 
                                
 And on the track all sorts of
surprises, hapnumep - oil, pe-
juice, and one more thing. Unfortunately
there are no prizes on the track, only
"westerners".

 This is the real deal
zi-zi-top!  The only thing is...
It turns out that the game was hacked -
on, and at the same time suffered a little
