Vectorman uses pre-rendered 3D models in its level and character designs. This gives the game a smooth, computer-generated feel. Vectorman was considered the answer to Nintendo's Donkey Kong Country at the time, as they both used graphical tricks to show graphics beyond what the console was thought capable of. The game itself is a straightforward 2D action platformer. Vectorman is an "orbot" powered with a ball gun in his hand. (Wikipedia.org)
