Whoa, badass opening. Looks like it would have stressed the GBA's limits.

Regardless of the argument, this is still impressive for the Gameboy Advance. However, we do sometimes forget that the GBA was in fact a 32bit handheld system.

I played the finalized game. The graphics have been heavily downgraded and easily recognizable as Mode 7 programming.

I was so excited for this when I was little.

To be more specific, they're called voxels. The level is just one big image map, with a height values assigned to every pixel. Voxels = volumetric pixels.

There were a few games released on the GBA that did use voxel engines, but it seems Rare ultmately decided against it, because of the performance loss. :-/
