| Demian's Thoughts: |
This is definitely rather reminiscent of the espionage-oriented Endless Quest books, except that it's set in a fairly generically-described future in which Lazer Tag is a major sport. It's fairly dated and not overly creative, but at least the game design is pretty good -- there's a focused story, and it takes some intelligent (though not too difficult) decision-making to reach the optimal ending. The Lazer Tag games that one might think would be a major part of the book are pretty unthrillingly described, though, and I can't help thinking that this might have been more fun with some sort of combat system included. Still, while I wasn't overly impressed by the book, I got at least a bit of enjoyment out of it while it lasted. |
