On the eighth day of Christmas Electronic Theatre brings you the eighth instalment in our The Twelve Games of Christmas feature series. The Twelve Games of Christmas is a new feature series aimed to highlight the best disc-based releases of 2008, one month at a time.

Near invisible ledges, bemusing controls, pointless spinning blades and frustrating deaths pepper the badly animated scenes. But even these scenes are precious moments of respite from the tedious fighting sections, which imprison you in rooms to grapple with a trickling stream of cloned enemies. There are three guns – but you only need to use them against the few foes your punches can't reach.
