Reviews for "LOTRO - Swig & Toss"
Decent. Well-done but not terribly original.
It's pretty much the same idea as most other "drinking" themed games. Yes, you're a dwarf, but that kind of comes with the territory when you're designing a minigame set in the LOTR universe. Including the dual tasks of lining up a slider and aiming a shakey cursor made the game a bit more interesting, but having to do both simultaneously was a bit annoying given the space between the target and the slider icon. I would have liked the slider to have been positioned above the target. Kudos on adding a betting option as well, but while it adds a degree of strategy to scoring, I don't think it amounts to much in the way of depth.
Sounds was well-done, as was the animation in general. Overal it's a good game, but fails to be anything more than a slightly more polished, LOTR-themed version of something everyone's already played for 10 minutes and gotten bored of.
To the guy below me, and everyone else like him I've been seeing around lately (I'm not trying to single you out, but you're the most obvious example): a 10/10 means that there's absolutely nothing that could have been done to make the game better. In your review, you write that it's a nice game _but_ it's not hard enough for you. Unless you're just looking to buff up your bragging rights, that means that you think there's something about the game that needs improvement. In this example, suggesting the creators include different difficulties next time around and deducting a point or two from your rating would be appropriate.
I'm not trying to be a douche, but I think this needs to be said. Just because you like a game doesn't mean it's perfect. While I'm sure the creators appreciate the bump, there's a reason NG uses a 10-point system -- not a two-point, pass/fail system. If every game anyone likes gets a perfect score, the rare, great games are going to get lost in the mix of merely good games. Furthermore, most of the people who submit their work, while they certainly appreciate praise, are also looking for some constructive criticism -- anyone who isn't is either arrogant or the second coming of Christ.
Please! Try to be more deliberate in reviewing!
Awesome Visuals
I loved the First-Person design but the game does not stay fun for a long time. Needed more content than just chugging, betting, and throwing 10 times. I didn't really want to play it again after the first 10 rounds because it is the same thing over again. Anyways good job!
neat
not bad it was cool for a little bit.
Sweet
Drinkin and Axes what more could u want
