Johnny smash!
** Caution: this review contains spoilers! **
The Room Tribute is an unofficial game based on the indie film of the same name. the player takes on the role of the main character Johnny, who gets involved in a love triangle with his fiancee Lisa and his best friend Mark.
The game is supposedly very true to the movie (I can't comment on this because I've never seen the film), with a few exceptions (such as the earthquake and the "planet spoon"). The film itself is one of those "bad" films with a cult following, which the game exploits.
As for the game itself, it's fairly straightforward; it's easy to figure out what to do next (unless you're trying to get certain medals). As such, gameplay is fairly linear. The story spans nine "days," with some being longer then the others. There are 16 medals to earn, which makes the game more interesting.
However, there's a few things that could be improved. The most noticeable issue is that the game lags inexplicably when the player is near the electronics store. In addition, some of the mini-games (namely the ones with the bottle and the football) require damn good reflexes, which can be frustrating.
On the whole, I loved this game. It would be cool if Tom were to make more games based on movies (like he did with Tremors).
Highs: a really need idea
