The game takes shootem'up to a whole new level with its innovative 4 modes of play, they are: Normal mode, PSY mode, IKA mode and GW mode. I will not go into detail with the modes as explaining this will take quite a long time, but i would like to make a point that this game is really fun because of these modes. The thing that is lacking are real powerups. This is very similar to Warning Forever which I reviewed earlier. In fact, both games play very similar as you only face one enemy at a time and the enemy will re-spawn with improved features.

The graphics are good. The unique emerald-like design of the ships are the first of its kind i've seen. The world is set in a 'cyber-computerish' world just like Warning Forever.

The music is excellent and fits the 'cyber-computerish' world very well. The sound effects are standard stuff.

RunMan Unlimited features three distinct areas of play. The first is the aforementioned Moon Patrol-esque running section, in which RunMan negotiates a series of obstacles. Here, RunMan has two abilities: He can jump, or roll into a little ball. Some obstacles require you to jump, some require you to roll under them, while a third type simply requires you to do anything but jump.

After running for so long, RunMan moves on to the most challengine section of the game: Hang gliding. Here, RunMan must fly up and down to avoid a bunch of mysterious flying walls of some sort.

After an amusing end to the glider ride (that I won't spoil for you here) RunMan enters into a free fall during which he must collect little red point balls before opening his parachute, landing on the ground to begin his trek again with greater difficulty.

RunMan's graphics look like they were drawn by a four-year old child, however, they fit the game absolutely perfectly. The whole game looks like some kindergartener's deranged coloring book fantasy.

The music in this game is also excellent, but I don't think it's original. Some of those tunes just sound a little too familiar, although I can't place them.

RunMan Unlimited is not without its problems, though. My first gripe is with the tiny window size. If there is a way to resize that window, I couldn't find it. Second, the game takes a good four or five seconds to start the music, during which everything freezes. This wouldn't be that bad, except for when the music loops in the middle of the game and everything just stops for a moment. In a game that is so dependent on timing, this is pretty frustrating. My last (and least) complaint is that the transitions between areas seemed awfully sloppy.
