Reviews for "V-tech Rampage"

A triumph of free speech and creative freedom.

I put close to zero credence in reviews due to various spam groups propagating their agenda of awards manipulation and the vast morass that is ignorant, unquestioning public opinion (amongst other things), but I feel compelled to review this flash despite the almost inherent futility of the act.

First and foremost, I commend you on how you conveyed the events of the massacre. People playing the game had to follow a rough parallel of the final day of Cho Seung-Hui's life to advance the story. You included some popular conjecture of Cho's motives that has been circulating around the internet into this storyline, but that definitely fits the bill stylistically considering the various internet slang and memes referenced throughout.

While the pixel graphics were adequate the sound is where you really excelled. People familiar with the case will instantly recognize the song "Shine" by Collective Soul. Cho listened to this song compulsively and even inscribed the lyrics on a dorm wall. During the second phase of the game that includes a stealth-based theme, Mr. Brownstone is played. This is a reference to the name of a disturbing play written by Cho. At Norris Hall, where the main massacre takes place, there are many witty aphorisms you included that Cho seemingly thinks to himself during the massacre. Some of these include the extent of the damage he inflicts, the killing of false idols (which he mentions in his manifesto), and of course the Zerg "bullet" rush. A particularly interesting quip is intoned after killing Professor Liviu Librescu.

All in all, this was a decent game rife with entertaining witticisms that demonstrate this was all done in jest, with no real malicious intent. It was unique and for the most part, well thought out. Sure, some will infer that this was made in poor taste. Maybe a disclaimer asserting sympathies to anyone involved could have been handy to help people generally acquiesce, while simultaneously letting your true intent be conveyed. This deserves recognition, but I fear it will be the wrong type.

Nicely done sir for being above the grain, Gold Star.

a VERY well made game

I'm not saying that the game being based off of killing students at Virginia Tech is a good thing, I am saying however that this game was pretty fun to play. The graphics reminded me of old NES games I used to play (those rocked!), the animation in the game was pretty good, the sound was pretty nice (i like 90s music), a LOT of violence and gore, however it wasn't very humorous to me.

I am not very fond of playing as the killer at V-tech, but you have a VERY good talent of making games, my friend! Keep up the good work!

-Tech

Cool game

I don't take things that serious and I could tell it was for satire only, so I though it was good. One question though, what's that secret code thing say at the bottom. I seen it for about a second and couldn't read it. Press forward something i don't know.

i need to read more

i just put this game on and didn't read that it was about v-tech

Eh, it's ok

-Everyone hating you for this game is missing the point. First of all, all these people giving you Zeros are just wussy little babies who love being the victim in their life. They love being bleeding heart wussies who get off on being the victim. They always talk big, and pretend like they love the poor, or help their fellow man...but they don't. they are shiftless, lazy, weak bums who love being the victim. They aren't sad for the 32 kids killed in V-tech, they are sad because they can't wallow in enough self-pity and misdirected hatred to get them off.

-Was the V-tech massacre depressing and sad? Yes. But you know what? If you didn't personally know someone who got killed in it, you have *no right* to be angry at this game. These haters need to grow up and realize that this stuff happens every day in Israel. Happens every day in Iraq, in Afghanistan...it is far worse there then here.
