The layout of the game is reminiscent of a full 3D shooter with your ultra handy radar and ammo gauge displayed so as to guide you in your quest of hell-bent destruction. While many gamers will be accustomed to this gaming environment WOTR differs as it takes place in a pseudo 3D environment. George Pelonis, a die hard Vectrex programmer, filmmaker and Californian states, "WOTR started out as a FULL 3D game, but needed to be simplified due to the intense effort put into the existing graphics and animation."

The Drones are a tricky bunch and you'll have to hunt them down with precision and gut wrenching determination if you are going to see their demise. The firepower they use is not as powerful as your own firepower and oncoming missiles fired from the robots can be destroyed before they have time to diminish your shield. Two phases, 'Destruction' and 'Survival add to the games appeal and each phase needs to be completed before the player can advance and ultimately face 'Vectra - Queen Robot'.

I asked George what were his influences and inspirations in creating WOTR, which he says is alot like Bedlam if you flipped the game on its axis. George states, "when you play WOTR, you're looking at portions of my unused film ideas mixed in with some of my musical efforts and sculptures."

The theme for WOTR is haunting and in my opinion the best music to be heard on a Vectrex since Alex Herbert's 'Spike Goes Down'. WOTR will keep you occupied for time to come and Pelonis promises us that he will produce more Vectrex games for some time to come. Just what we like to hear George.

Score 8/10
