How is it?
Snagged one on eeeBay for what I felt to be a reasonable price ($18ish after shipping?), CIB of course.
What do you think of the game? Good? Bad? To my understanding, it's a top-down run 'n gun-ish game. Sounds like my cup of tea, especially since there aren't many like it on the platform.

It's a great game to let off steam with - a late exclusive that's definitely worth owning

Awesome.. Lately it's been popping up a lot in peoples' favorites lists for the 3DO. It's one of those I have been mildly curious about, but never bothered to look into usually due to the price (evilbay sellers usually want $30+ for a copy).

I've mixed feelings on CQ. Its a great looking game! But the control isn't quite as responsive as I hoped (it could just be inherit of the games viewing angle) I also feel like this game has a bit of an identity crisis ... for an arcade style game, the levels seem to run long (why do I need to collect codes for ex?) 2 player co-op saves it for me though.

I agree with this. I don't think the isometric view works at all. It should been similar to Commando or Jackal, but the angle it's set too balls it all up.

Gotta agree, top down would have worked better.

I remember seeing this in 1996, and wanting it badly. It was the first game I got when I finally got a 3DO. The game concept seems like it would be fun, but quickly gets old. The controls don't work all that well either; it needs a lot of diagonal movement.

This game was one of the best on the 3DO.
The resolution makes it kinda hard to play now.
