Reviews for "Echoes: Act 1"
:@ arh
well didnt get a chance to play cause i had this little box that kept poping up on my screen saying that newgrounds want to upload shit to your computer, repedidlty clicked DENY but just kept coming back then i pressed it again and the whole screen just went white. farrrrrk :@ newgrounds
seemed like a decent game though
This game is an oxymoron!
The score is halfway between a 10 and a 0, because this has to be the most terribly designed great game I have ever seen.
The voice acting is great, the story is intriguing and original, the controls are absolutely horrible, and the game leaps between mind-numbingly boring and stupidly difficult.
For example, having the shift key for run? BAD idea. There's a certain keyboard combination of shift and another key that is dangerously close to your movement keys that is standard for most browsers to go back a page, hence instantly losing any progress when desperately trying to avoid getting smashed.
There's also the fact that the 'friendly' AI is about as intelligent as a lobotimized politician. Anti-infantry units will rush forward to get obliterated by tanks, while the anti-armor sits there and gets killed by the nade tossing infantry. Also, your supposed hero stands there and does nothing when he comes under attack. He should, at least, auto-shoot.
There's just too much to rave about, so I'm going to cut straight to the chase.
Great idea.
Keep it.
Horrible game.
Scrap it, and start over.
Do that, and this could become a serious hit. The potential is all there!
