RP-Jihad 2000 - Son of Rades

by Skarab of Circe Software


This game was a real disappointment compared to Tabu.



Story
Ah! Grandmother stole the sausages! You must get them back!
Game Design: 15%
Well, the game is one screen long. There is little innovation. This game is actually impossible not to beat. The language used is, uh, strange. You walk, you talk to people, you fight Bert Reynolds clones, although there is little to the fighting. Overall, this game just stunk of last minute code.
Graphics: 30%
Well, the graphics weren't that bad. The background was nice. The Bert Reynolds pic was cool. The different characters were kind of funny. Some of the original scenes were nicely done. Of course, this IS taking into account that this game is a rushed RPG-quickie.
The graphics were ripped off from other games (all in fun though) and they actually were alright. Since the game didn't have much to it, the graphics didn't either.
Play Control: 40%
Well, you move, and you press Space Bar. That's it. You could press anything else, but you can't win unless you use Space Bar. Trust me.
There is nothing else to do. This game had so much not going for it, and play control was one of them.
Sound: 25%
Well, basically, there is music, but it was badly done. Sometimes you barely hear it, and other times, it blares out of your speakers. Kind of disturbing, like a lot of things in this game.
The fact that there was music was cool though.
Challenge: 5%
No challenge here. The only problem anyone could have is figuring out that you can't beat Bert Reynolds unless you hit Space Bar. Other than that, the game plays for you. Too bad though.
Satisfaction/Fun: 10%
Well, I had more fun playing Tabu. This game could have been more enjoyable if it wasn't so filled with toilet humor. It kind of ruined it for me. I suppose that someone will find it kind of funny, but it just didn't add enjoyment to the game.
Overall: 18%
Basically, this game just wasn't good. There really wasn't any play value, and not much could make it fun. Too bad though. Out of the RP-Jihad this game is going to stand out as the worst. Hopefully that is true so we can look forward to better games.
