It’s the year 2850 and the psychically gifted can manipulate an organic substance called Multiplast to form weapons, spaceships, and supple blow-up dolls. (Well, two of the three, anyway.) So when a madman threatens to take over the supply of the stuff, they call in—naturally—a smart-ass kid. As said smart-ass, Nevin, you use a Plast Suit to change into three forms—melee, stealth, or gun—and enter a candy-colored world to thwart evil. Solid play centers on puzzle-solving and combo-attack-filled combat. But the game’s star is really Nevin’s cool, morphable costume, which gives new meaning to the phrase “class action suit.”
