Westworld 2000 is a 3D first-person shooter based on the 1973 film Westworld . [1]
Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "The idea is fine, it's the execution that hurts. The first-person engine is sluggish, like something developed before even Wolfenstein 3D . The delay between a keypress and actual movement is unacceptable, and the graphics are as flat as they come - it feels more like you're dealing with cardboard cutouts than any sort of 3D realm. Avoid this title at all costs." [1]
