Reviews for "Madness: Premeditation"
Fair
The graphics look good and the audio is high quality and fitting. All in all the presentation and looks are good, as is the layout. The game lags horribly, though, so I really think you should have simplified the graphics. Really, nobody would have minded if the game would just run smoother. Or at least you could have added a Quality option.
For the graphic layout of the nodes system, it might have been easier to use the arrow keys to navigate a dot on the path rather than clicking on it to create a node, as I regularly clicked a path I didn't mean to when it overlapped. On top of that, I got frustrated if a replay didn't allow me to go back to the menu and I knew it was bound to fail.
The gameplay is where it runs into serious issues, though. For one, while I like the style of movement, it gets frustrating when you get killed simply because you mapped out the patterns incorrectly. The way avoiding fire works simply constitutes that you look at the timer as an enemy attacks... Which you can't do until you've already mapped out an attack pattern first. But basically all you have to do is look at where the enemy is and when, and make sure to avoid this hit at this time.
The node system was frustrating for the reasons I listed above, but overall I really liked the system and thought it was a cool concept. Again, my biggest issue was that the 'strategy' consisted of watching where enemies moved and when; the way it's so static and formulaic takes the strategy out of a strategy game.
One last thing I'll mention is the arsenal system. Since it takes so long to get a point, I found the grenade thing to be horribly useless, as you only get one for the next round, so after I bought and used my first one, I never once thought to get another. Second, the whole gun thing was explained rather poorly and it was quite a while before I understood how it worked. Some kind of better explanation would have been nice.
One thing I'll say I did like was the ability to watch other peoples' replays. That was really cool, and obviously it gave a game surprising cinematic value. Kudos on that!
The concept is really cool, but seeing as you only lose if you map out a number wrong, I found it to get tedious and decided to grind after getting to the final boss, as it just isn't worth the trouble otherwise.
the tricky boss made me want to gouge my eyes out. apart from that the game was pretty good.
It's fun, I can say it's not the least enjoyable Madness Combat Game, but Tricky's stage is pretty much random on where you have to shoot.
Well I'm not the smartest so maybe that's all.
Cool game but hard and because I can't get the medals?
