The battle arenas in No Escape really set it apart from the rest of the 3D action crowd. The maps are meant to be like very tiny planets, so the terrain is spherical in shape. This can make the combat a little bit awkward since your and your opponent appear to never be on the same elevation. Three of these mall planets were included in the demo, including a desert town, a space junkyard and a volcano-covered asteroid. These battlefields give you a good idea of just how unique each arena is in the full game.
Huge explosions are a fairly common sight.
The graphics in No Escape is one of its stronger points. The entire arena is alive with bright colors and lighting effects. The textures are well made with sufficient detail during the fast action. With its good graphics and high framerates, No Escape is a pleasure to watch. As cool as the graphics are, the sounds are nothing spectacular.
