![]() It's not bad, but the controls are unconventional enough that it's hard to get used to. And I really can't be bothered with it - if I can't romance other characters I'm not interested!Īll of the things they said about it were true, not pointless nitpicking. It's dated, and I've got the version where if you get bitten by a vampire you can't cure it. It is a bit like 'Carry On' the computer game, but there are some good stories in it (the spoof RPG quest that features Simon Peg is good fun). And it is only half a game really - the second half mainly consists of pressing 'Yes' or 'No' on tedious to boring choises you make as King. Ooh, and I can review Fable III, which is ok but not as good as Fable II. I really can't be bothered to do more than slash at things in a fight.) (In another note - I play on easy or is it normal.whatever one that does not require me to think about player tactics. (As a review - it's fun and has enough plotting to make it worthwhile.) Now I can wander around an imaginary world wondering where all my imaginary friends are from the last game. Oooh, I have a good reason to post in here at last after getting an Xbox finally a few months ago.Ĭurrently playing Dragon Age: Awakenings. Posts: 32901 | Location: smooshy mashed pertato mountian | Registered: June 25, 2003 You hvae you really really really realllllllly really like MST3K to deal with this mess. But for now the game sucks dinosaur d*** and is virtually unplayable.ĮDIT: A month later and even though I got D:TIM running on Linux WINE (the OS I reviewed this game on initially was Win 7), it's still awful. Maybe the story's the one flawless diamond in these gigs of garbage. I'll keep the game on my hard drive for a few months and hope for a patch, although I doubt I'd rate it more than a C because of the other problems I mentioned. *shrugs*) to add to the pile of complaints, but I think I presented my case against Darkstar without them. ![]() I didn't take pics of the 'super-fisheye' mode the game sometimes slips into or the ambiguous Windows error message that wouldn't go away (and then it mysteriously did. I really wanted to like Darkstar - it's the MST3K gang for Pete's sake! - but there's too much stink in this skunk. I started figuring a few things out, but the after I got stuck in the middle of the hallway for the umpteenth time and went into CLICK RAGE, I let out a few choice adjectives and decided to quit and patch the game before playing any more. So in a Myst-like fashion you click on everything to learn WTF is going on and how to move around the ship, which is 50,000 times more difficult when using a LEGO. ![]() Forrester is somewhere else on the ship, and TV's Frank was murdered in his sleep pod. ![]() Out of the other three sleepers on board the hot chick is still asleep, Dr. So it's a few centuries in the future and the Earth's blown up and you're a guy who wakes up from cryogenic sleep on a spaceship. ClickClickClickClickClickClickClickClick-DAMMIT I'M STUCK AGAIN! This makes the game a miserable experience. Or punching something IRL.īut when you need that f***ing cursor it explodes into a goddamn Lego.Īm I wrong to think that in a point-and-click game the cursor and it's accuracy is extremely important? And with a hand cursor the upper left hand corner isn't quite the activation spot! I tried different compatibility modes (XP, Vista, the Service Packs for both) and I still get the Lego. Interacting with an object's a bit easier because there's less to click, but what's commonsense to you isn't necessarily logical to the game, so don't be surprised if you find yourself stuck in a chair. It's a 3-D world that's point and click driven, which means you don't have complete freedom of movement and it's not uncommon to go into mouse-mashing frenzies to find the magic hot spot to move your character. This is what your cursor looks like when you don't really need it.īut graphics aren't everything, right? Story's important as hell and so's the playability/ interface. You get a little bit of data/options in this border during the game but that rectangle is as good as the graphics get. Yes that's including that huge black border around the menu screen. And yes, I'm calling this a game rather than an interactive movie, because no sane person would put up with jumping through hoops like this to watch a movie. Yes, it's cheesy as it looks, and not in a good way.įirst of all do yourself a favor and TURN OFF the background music in the Utility menu. ![]() Between the bugs, the cheesiness, and the frustrating clickfest that this game boils down to, Darkstar is NOT an enjoyable experience. Sorry guys, but I refuse to play/review Darkstar: The Interactive Movie any further until some of the bugs are fixed. ![]()
