X-Perts....anyone buy it?

Like it says.....I saw it in the stores and I was wondering how it was.
The only reports I ever heard said that it was kinda slow.

Anyone?

I bought it only to return it three hours later. The gameplay is very
interesting, but it runs slowly enough to make it drag on and make it very
dull. Its something you should definitely rent before you buy it. The
graphics are ok (all characters are rendered like Killer Instinct, but the
backgrounds are dorky monochromatic paintings). The sounds are nothing to
write home about, but better than average. Its the gameplay that's
supposed to catch people here. It runs in some mode of real time, where
you simulataneously control three characters in a semi-large environment.
All three are secret agents or something, and they have to disarm a
terrorist threat inside a huge underwater base (or so the story goes).
there's computers and enemies everywhere, and you have to assign jobs for
different people all through the base. The trick is to keep them alive
and disarm the threat. I admit this seemed interesting, but once you
start the game, and see how slow it runs and how boring it can become,
you'll take it back in a matter of hours too.....
