Double Switch

This was a very easy game to finish but it was still fun for a while. Even if you are a novice gamer you can still finish this one in about 2 weeks. But there was a major problem with it. There was so much footage that we never got see that involved the relationships between the characters. The plot always took over just when the voyeuristic appeal was setting in. There was never any way around this so the game almost followed the same path every single time. The 'revelation' at the end was pretty disappointing and the climax was all over too quickly. And Corey Haim must have been totally desperate for work for appearing in this.

The Sega CD version has really crappy lo-res video too.

I love this game! The acting is superb. R. Lee Ermey gives a stellar performance while Deborah Harry struts with true diva grace. Digital Pictures has created a masterpiece with Corey Haim giving his most engaging performance since "License To Drive." A++

One of the most underrated video games for the most underrated video game system ever, the sega cd. This game is a true gem that makes you feel like you are in the game and one of the few to use the full motion video notion correctly. Interactivity at its best and if only more people had played this game than its "lets censor videogaming" cousin, night trap, people may have respected the industry alot more.

Yes, as with all Sega CD movie games featuring actors this game has a fatal flaw that is common theme with about all of them. This one seems to have better actors than most and it has rather interesting gameplay though rather simplistic. You basically use security cameras to monitor rooms, you have mob type dudes and ninjas are something and when they step on certain points on the screen you push a button and trigger a trap and they get bonked or fall in a hole or something. It is somewhat fun watching them fall in these traps and seeing the different types of traps, but it does get old. As for the fatal flaw you ask? Well you have scenes going on while you are monitoring the rooms, explaining motivations for some of the characters and such. Well if you take the time to listen to these scenes you lose the game as to many of the intruders will break in. What is the point of filming these scenes with this actors and actresses if you can not watch them? So you end up just catching random people without really knowing what the heck is going on, however the ending is kind of funny as you put Eddie (Corey Haim's character) through some real hell.

Double Switch is a game that came before its time. The game is a movie but you are the director. You determine what will happen to each, well, if you do the right things. Double Switch has a great story line along with it being a FMV (full motion video). That game has a rather low VGA view, which, with today's technology, it would be better. Double Switch was out with the Sega CD, which was a under-rated machine. This game is truly my all-time favourite.
