GameOPS > Reviews > PC > Bid For Power RC 1
On planet Namek, Freeza blasts a mountain with his Freeza Beam! One finger to destroy anything... he's the almighty Freeza!
Another one of Freeza's specialties, a Kienzan. But the difference between this and Kuririn's is this homes in on the enemy and doesn't let go until the poor guy is sliced... sometimes even DICED!!!
Hmmm... what's this... Freeza's volleball.... wait... no... it looks familiar... I think I saw this one used when.... HE TRIED TO DESTROY A WHOLE PLANET!!! IT's.......
the DEATH BALL ATTACK!!! YIKES!!! BIGGER THAN THE FULL POWER CHOU KAMEHAMEHA!!!
Who will win? Freeza at 1,000,000 PL against Goku's 931,000... but Goku hasn't turned SSJ yet!!! This shot's taken under the waters of Namek. It's hand-to-hand (plus a tail) combat!!!
The battle ensues and Goku is forced to change into SSJ mode, but quickly realizes that Freeza used this time to charge up a Death Ball attack, which Goku evades while preparing a Kamehameha... but....
As Goku evades, another one follows him from the back which surprises him... fortunately, Goku's still charging up the Kamehameha...
KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!!!!!
This is Death Ball versus Kamehameha!!!
Goku's Kamehameha pushes more power, but will it be able to match Freeza's Death Ball attack? Will Goku atleast be able to deflect the Death Ball? Try the game for yourself... when it gets publicly realeased, that is!
Ok, it's judgement time!
Sound: The voices sound nice... especially Goku's "Ka...me...ha..me..ha!!!"
and the other's as well. Since this is just the first "release" (I
should say leak) well, I think they will be improving especially in this department.
Graphics: For a first build game, this one proves that team work will
produce quality products... like this mod! Models look professional, but I heard
that they have improved this in RC2, and just wait till RC3... the public release
version!
Controls: I have no problems with the controls whatsoever since configuration
is allowed... it depends on you anyway.
Replayability: PERFECT! I mean, I play my copy only with myself (because
I don't have friends that have this game yet... and there's no modem dial-up
feature here only lan thingies) against bots, and I still keep coming back!
for more!
Playing Tips:
1. Watch Dragonball Z and learn how the attacks work... anyway I'll give you a brief run down on them now...
2. When playing a serious game, use Piccolo's Eye Beam for irritating your unsuspecting friends.
3. The longer you charge your ki for your attack, the stronger it gets.
4. Don't be afraid to fight and explore underwater, you cannot drown, you're super humans (beings.)
5. Freeza's Death Ball attack is the LARGEST attack of them all, but it also is slow and can be avoided with the proper technique.
6. Don't forget to charge up your ki after firing a ki attack.
7. When all else fail, use melee attacks! Just charge at your opponent and hold the key you assigned for your melee attacks!
8. Kuririns Kakusanha is the best weapon for newbies. First, it flies towards opponents at a good rate, then when you press your fire button again, the energy ball splits up into four homing energy bombs!!! I've done this a few times and the result was very amusing! The whole screen was littered with those energy bombs chasing all 14 of my enemies!!! Plus, it doesn't use too much ki.
9. Gohan's Angry Explosion has a range of about 100 meters, full power.
10. Kuririn's Kienzan is hard to aim, since it doesn't have a homing feature AND it is VERY THIN. The only good part here is it's almost a one hit kill if it touches anyone.
11. Freeza's Kienzan is deadlier, packed with a HOMING feature.
12. Don't touch the electricity in the city levels as they cause minor damage.
13. Your own ki attacks can hurt you.
14. When charging your ki, be sure you are well hidden as enemies can see your powerful glow if you charge your ki.
15. Never blast your team mate and kill him as this will decrease your frag score.
Fun Stuff With Bid For Power
1. Pick a character for your team color. On the other team, assign all the available slots for your enemies! Put the difficulty in NIGHTMARE! Just imagine you against 14 Freezas!!! YEEEHAAA!!!
2. You can kill your friends... as in team mates!
I hope you're all envious... err I mean excited now! Let's wait for the official
realease of Bid For Power and hope it is a lot better!!!
Coming Soon.... RC2 REVIEW (if we get the leaked version...)
