| Ok people. If you have ever played this game or have seen anyone play this game in your entire life and remember anything about it, you will probably share my opinion. Wait, you will almost defenantly share my opinion. Now, let's face it, I have played some terrible games in my life (see Yo!Noid review at Wright's), but this one is in that ever growing battle for the one that takes the cake. In fact this game has been winning that very battle from the time I pressed start at the title screen. The graphics are pitiful, the replay value is just as bad (if not worse), and as for the music, well, let's just say that you are hearing some of it at this very moment. Basicly, the game is a pot head's take on a sports game. In the game you have control of a 6 person team, although they are controlled by the computer until the are holding the ball. 3 of the team members are on one side of the court thingy and are surrounded by three members of the opposing team. A mirror image of this is created by the other 3 members of your team surrounding the opponents other 3 team members. From what I can tell, the team members that are surrounded are supposed to be the offense and the surrounding members are the defense (although the only thing you are trying to do when either half has the ball is hit the other team). This game is made even more screwed up by the fact that each team member on the offense has a certain ammount of health and afther they get hit enough, they lose a health point. Once they lose all of their health points, they turn into an angel and float into the sky. Ok, to recap so far, we have a game where you basicly do nothing but play dodge ball to the death. I bet you are thinking "What else could there be to an NES game?". Well, after you defeat the local champion dodge ball team, your team feels the need to take over every other country in the world, so you and the rest of the team hop on a plane and begin to systematicly hunt down and challenge the other major teams around the world to your game of deadly dodge ball. If you win, you continue on your quest. If you lose, well, I already said that you were playing to the death so better luck next time. And if you made it very far into the game, fear not, you will have plenty of time to practice from the beginning. Oh, I almost forgot (or tried to forget, I'm not really sure at the moment), there is more piece of evidence that the creators of this game were on something. When you get to Iceland, the background is igloos and penguins (Iceland has absolutely no ice in real life for those who didn't know). Well, I guess if must give this game an overall rating, then I must. I think it deserves a 2 of 10 simply because many jokes can be created simply by playing the game for about 5 minutes. Also, if you want to see just how bad this game is and missed it on the NES, you still have a chance. You can either get it on the Gameboy Advance or you can just try to hunt down the ROM if you have an emulator for the NES on your computer, but, personally, I woulnd't recommend wasting your time with either. |
