Decent At Best

Alright, so this game was... Well, like the title of this review says, decent at best. The actual game (DDR/FFR/Guitar Hero type, whatever) is done a lot, and so the only chance you have to redeem yourself is the concept/story, the songs you chose, and how well made it was overall.

As for the story, I thought it was pretty good. Kind of unique, and the picks were entertaining. The songs you used were good, especially considering you could only use stuff from the audio portal. As for how well it was made overall... There were problems.

First off, it was REALLY easy on the whole, but also extremely frustrating. A lot of the time the arrows didn't seem to be in sync with the music, and didn't really line up correctly with the arrows (If that makes sense).

Basically, a lot of the time I found myself trying to figure out where the beat of the arrows would hit, and a lot of the time I found myself trying to press the arrow a second before the arrow actually made it to the arrow it was going to overlap.

I only failed once, and that was on the armor games pick. The reason for this is probably because that song has a lot of arrows in close proximity, and a weird glitch happens (Or at least it happened to me) if you screw up. I missed one arrow, and suddenly I was stuck. I was pressing the correct arrows at the correct time, but every single one was coming up as a miss. Not even "too late" or "too early," just all misses, but they were disappearing as I was pressing!

All in all this is really just a decent game. It's not horrible, it has a good concept and fun music to play along with, but it can get pretty annoying, and it's really easy to just beat - even the 'secret key pick.' And also, the secrets aren't really worth unlocking. I mean I don't really want to play through a game so I can unlock random factoids. Although I guess I found the last one about how to get inducted into the museum interesting.

So yeah, good work, and it was pretty good, but it was nothing amazing.

LilDwarf responds:

Hahaha ok thanks for the review.

not very good at all

this game is very bland and boring. the sync is bad, the notes are pretty random, and the animation and graphics are barely sub par. i have no idea how you got above epic riffs and definetly no idea how you got above incubus pulsem. this game is very unoriginal and generic and the graphics are very bland.

LilDwarf responds:

Because people like simple games like these! :D Maybe more users thought this game was more fun or had a better replay value than epic riffs or incubus pulsum. That's what really matters.

sweatdrops

i can't believe you devoted an entire pick to a mispelled name of an emoticon. i believe i would have gone as far as to rate a zero had i found a lolcat pick before that one.

you'll get 5 of 10 from me... and that is strictly due to the challenge of trying to keep up with the ever changing beat of the songs.

advice for the future: ignore pop culture and mainstream viewpoints and pick something intelligent and dare i even suggest it - original - that you actually enjoy for you. not because everyone else tells you to enjoy it.

LilDwarf responds:

I have no idea what you're talking about, but OK :)
