"Ads in the middle of a game submitted here..."

equals an automatic 1.
Save mid-game ads for other sites.

Maybe I'm being harsh because of the ads in the middle. I don't know, but it IS irritating.

If not for the ads, this is at least a decent timewaster. It is nothing special, though.... appropriate for games you might find on Yahoo or MSN gaming sections.

"Ok, seriously, yougames? enough"

I've seen this garbage roll through long enough without saying anything, so i'm going to now. You want a review? Fair enough.

First off, let's start off with the logo/branding for your "company". You have successfully managed to rip off two sites with your branding - the voice over from Free Online Games ("Another game from the studios of Free Online Games" anyone?) and Miniclip with the way the text unfolds. That's just sad. Really Really Sad.

Now, onto the game. Like almost all of your games you have taken a successful game and copied the mechanics, physics and graphics. Usually, as is the case with this ripoff of the Bloons series, you do this poorly. You have even ripped off your own games, simply replacing the graphics with others - like the whole "crazy (insert mode of transportation here)" "series."

This game consisted of a mostly innacurate and very annoying automatic power indicator, and a bunch of clip-art looking baloons. Superb Job. Really.

You have a team - i am assuming that there is more than one of you due to the volume of media you put out - that is obviously fairly skilled in actionscript and basic graphics, so it would behoove you to actually develop games that are original and well tested. Ripping off the concepts of other, well known games is a poor idea, as it gets pretty obvious as to what you are doing.

Seriously, you obviously have the skill set to make well developed games. Use that ability. Please.

And change your branding. Please.

Now, of course, if you are downloading the games and using Gordons or some similar tool to decompile them, and then just changing portions to make it slightly different, then what i have said is void. I don't think that is the case, but one does wonder.

-=Review=-
GFX: 3/10 Poor. clipartish and hard edged.

Sound: 4/10 Almost identical to Bloons. that's really annoying.

Gameplay: 4/10 Too short. Being inundated with ads is annoying. I accidentally clicked on one, and that's really annoying.

Originality: 0/10 Take an existing game and make it better = good. Take an existing game and make it worse = bad.

Replayability: 0/10 Never again.

Overall: 4/10 An overall hackjob - taking another's idea and making it worse while trying to make money off of the inundation of MochiAds is generally bad practice.

"Yeah..."

OK, so alot of these reviews are commenting about how this game is stolen from Bloons... So I decided to actualy play Bloons before playing this.

I must say, that this game is not a 100% copy of Bloons. You see, Bloons was good. Balloons 2 is not.

Other than that its a direct copy of the game. Same method of firing the darts, same physics, same concept, same way to win.

And hell, even if this game wasnt a blatent copy of a rather good game... this game kind of sucks. Its to short, the levels are not challenging at all, and the graphics are bad.

So in all categories. 0/5 0/10. And all other possible 0.

As for the readers... i highly recomend playing the actual Bloons here on Newgrounds. Really good game.
