Grab your big-boy pants for this game!
Taking down scumbag terrorists is all part of the job when you're a member of the US Navy SEALS. The missing requires us to sneak into the lion's den, kill everyone and plant explosives to destroy their stockpile of missiles. Each map is a layout of cunning platforms within a maze of trigger-happy bad guys. Use covert tactics - so play slowly and carefully to learn where the enemy is located. Many practice games will be required to plan the best route from start to end, this is vital and the only way to successfully complete the mission. This is not easy and will not appeal to any casual gamer.
Okay, let's take a look at the first screenshot with gorgeous details and colour palette...

Visually, Navy Seals is a babe with gorgeous graphics that ooze a retro style that I really admire. I love the beautiful character animation as you run, leap, climb and sneak about. Each level compliments the environment and feels like something from a movie, a cheesy 80s B-Movie! Heck, even the screen showing me dead is great. Yep, I said that.
Sound effects do their job very well and the music is a cool chiptune to bop along to. Liking it a lot!!
Hey, it's time for a screenshot. How about one you will see a lot? Here you go...
The CryptO'pinion?
This is such a difficult game but I also find myself enjoying the challenge. Each level requires the player to learn all aspects thoroughly, so don't expect a cakewalk. There are two drawbacks with Navy Seals: the time limit which I think is far too harsh but I also don't understand why Ocean didn't include a way to unlock each level with passwords?
Navy Seals won't appeal to the casual gamer as it requires lots of practice (i.e. death!) to figure out an efficient route through all levels - before the timer expires. Can you do it? I hope so because Navy Seals is such a rewarding game albeit incredibly brutal. In fact, brutal might be too namby-pamby a description for this release? Gamers were tough in the 90s...
