We only need to look at the makers of this game to know it's not good.  Yep, Micronet strike again with more crap.  To be fair Curse does have some nice ideas in there such as the polygon looking shield.  Unfortunately any nice ideas are wasted since Curse is just thrown together in a pretty messy way.  Curse just doesn't seem to have any decent level design at all.  There are many times you wonder if you can actually fly past an item or not because it's so hard to figure out if it's a background item or foreground one.  Most of the time it ends up being a foreground item resulting in you crashing right in to it and loosing a life.  It's not only the graphics that need sorting out but also the actual animation and scrolling.  The whole game just looks so jerky which is defiantly not what you want in a shooter.  Another thing you don't want in a shooter are pathetic weak looking weapons.  Of course Micronet don't know this so have happily provided us with some of the most piss poor weapons to be seen in a Mega Drive shooter.

So, as you can see I don't like Curse very much.  It really is a shame because I quite like some of the ideas and art style in there, it's just that Micronet haven't got a clue about making a quality product.
