Master Thief 3D - worth purchasing?

[yOyOYoo]

Anyone here purchase this game? I don't like the fact that it can't be trialed before purchasing. I have the demo level and it doesn't seem too impressive to me on my TG50. The graphics are sorta smooth, but the sound is awful, just clicks and beeps and the control is pretty hard to use as well.

Are the mission packs: silicon heaven and liquid gold any good? If you could pick one, which one would you purchase? I was just wondering how these levels were and which one was more fun to play. I'm not sure I enjoyed the demo and was hoping the actual other levels are much more fun before I plop down my $12.
Thanks.

I went ahead and purchased the Silicon Heaven legal packs for my NX because the demo doesn't use armlets and it looks like a very promising game. I have to say the OS5 version with armlets is incredible. I often see more than 80fps and it looks great. I have yet to play it extensively though because there are some drawbacks. First, it is incredibly difficult to control. To get the best control over the game, you need to use BOTH the buttons and stylus at the same time. Of course, you could use JUST the buttons but control is even worse this way. Second problem I have with this game is that sometimes it runs TOO fast. I often find myself running past things that i am trying to stop at/shoot/open/etc. such as doors/guards/computers/etc.

I think this looks like a really great game that suffers from some unfortunate control problems. I'd say give it a try for yourself and see what you think, but the demo doesn't show half the potential of this game on OS5 devices.

The demo is actually OS5 enhanced, it's just that the demo mission doesn't look to impressive, no matter how good the engine....

About the 'Too fast' problem. Just use the frame-rate limiter

one question, if I want to strafe left and right, I can set one button to be "combo" and the press left/right while holding the combo button.

I remember on my NR70v, this allowed for me to strafe left and right with no problems, I could also go forwards, but not backwards...

On my TG50, it seems like everytime i hold the "combo" button down and then strafe left/right, it automatically causes Nebula (the character from the game) to automatically run forward... any comments on this from those that already own the game? Is this a bug only in the TG50 series?
