Bid
For Power RC1
Exclusive
Unofficial Review
By: Resourcerer (GameOPS mystery reviewer)
It is very common for us to see modifications (mods) being developed by the gamers themselves for the reason that the game has a great engine or they just want to experiment, but unfortunately, not all the mods out there are that great. Only a few mods became quite popular, like Counterstrike, a mod for the game Half-life which lets you experience team based gameplay using strategy instead of running around like some crazed Rambo, which gives realism in games a level-up. But not every mod wants to be "realistic"... just like........
Bid For Power. If you haven't heard about this, then you might be one of these:
You are not interested in PC games or mods, you have been banned by the government
to be near a computer, or you simply don't like Dragonball...
You say "Dragonball?" Yes... Bid For Power is a mod for the game Quake
III Arena which features styles from the popular anime Dragonball Z. If you're
already drooling and you want to grab a copy of this mod, well, sorry but it's
not yet going to be realeased by the developers anytime soon, because they are
still tweaking some bugs in this mod. Of course, being the lucky bastard that
I am, I have gotten myself a... <ahem> well, an "official" copy
of its first release... now I'm not gonna disclose my sources since it might
cause some problems so I'm just gonna share all I know about Bid For Power...
well of course for release one. I even included screenshots here that I took
while playing it... <drool you helpless gamers, drool!>
The first thing you'll see of course is the main screen with the usual options.
If you have to configure your controls, then do it now. If you are comfortable
with the default settings from the Quake controls, I still suggest that you
check out the controls since you are gonna use a lot of the keys on the keyboard.
Just imagine this, you are in the universe of Dragonball Z and you will have
to charge your ki, fly, run, teleport out of harms way, and more.... now see
why I wanted you to check the controls?
After configuring it to the way you want it, we start the game! Of course, I
chose Goku as my first character since he is the star of the show after all...
Shown here is Goku from a third person perspective. While walking around the Earth level, I happened to fine this.... a Space Pod!!! I wonder who owns this.... wait... I sense....
I sense that I need to power up my ki a bit... someone's near...
OH NO!!! It's Vegita! I feel a strong power within him, and I'm a bit weaker... but I will have to face him...... oh no! He's charging right at me! He just evaded my blasts... better act quick...
Vegita started his attack from the cliff! He released a powerful Bakuhatsuha, but fortunately, Goku's fast enough to move out of harm's way.
This time, Vegita acts more aggressive! He actually zipped down and blasted Goku with another Bakuhatsuha, but Goku is becoming stronger by the minute... he manages to evade the deadly blast by simply sliding to the left. This makes Vegita irritated.
Both fighters are desperate to win. Goku unleashes a bunch of Renkuza Dans at Vegita, while Vegita commands his Big Bang Attack towards Goku!!!
Goku prepares to unleash the Sokidan, a ki attack that will follow the enemy wherever he goes until it makes contact!!!
Vegita fires his Big Bang Attack to the heavens, hoping to destroy a nearby planet!!!
Goku gets mad and turns into a Super Saiyajin!!! His ki explodes all around!!! When turning into SSJ, your Power Level reaches 1,000,000 and everything recharges to perfect condition, including your health!!! Also, in SSJ mode, Goku can now use....
Ka.....me.....
Ha.....Me.....
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at that MASSIVE KAMEHAMEHA! But it's not full power yet!!!
