Lupin the Third

Lupin being an internationally renowned criminal commands a hefty resale fee for his fine services for this title in Japan. But its clear from the offset this is an epoch defining game rather than a lazy license. The first thing that grabs you is the splendid tunes that have overtones of espionage. Next it's the superb animation given to someone so full of expression and manoeuvres to avoid escape as is Lupins want. Grabbing ledges, crawling throw tunnels, charging along corridors elbows out, hand in pocket, other on chin in pontification. Lupins fans will lap the gameplay up, others will be inspired to delve deeper.
