Exit is the tale of Mr. ESC a guy trying to make it big in life but is overshadowed by the success of a super-hero with real powers. Your objective in the game is simply to control Mr. ESC and help him guide a few citizens out of a dangerous situation. From which you will be graded and scored by how well you handled the situation and how quickly you have achieved it.

The gameplay is very similar to the original Prince of Persia in how it operates. The game actually makes use of the exact same movements as a matter of fact. The same running jump mechanism and climbing. It's basically Prince of Persia in sheep's clothes, except he's not a prince.

To accompany Mr.ESC there are often items scattered across the level that will aid him in his escape, I mean aid him in helping other people out followed by his escape.

Though the game does take a bit of time to get used to the controls. THe movements are as fluid as you'd like them to be and will definately take a few levels to get adjusted to the gameplay. The guy runs like a robot, well not really but he runs exactly the same way as the Prince in Prince of Persia. No I'm not talking about the modern remakes, I'm talking about the classic Prince of Persia action game.

With that said the graphic style of the game is drawn very excellent is a very easy on the eyes. The game is designed around a comic book scheme with the occasional word pop-up blurb or the clumsy sound-effects. It's as if you're playing a real-time American comic. All that is missing is the "Blam" and "Poof" effects you would see in the old Batman shows, glad those didn't make the cut.

But if I were to describe the graphic style, it is a sort of cel-shaded. Though it isn't a complete cell-shaded look. It retains enough 3d in the game but could easily trick you into thinking it is a 2d-drawn game. Especially given that the game is presented in a 2d-drawn cut-out view of a level.

Reminds me a little bit of the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive game Comix Zone (SIC?). That game was rather unique (at the time) in that the entire game stage was a page or two out of a comic book, and this game has a bit of that underground comic feel to it.
