Sneak King is ridiculous in everyway…Lame graphics, game play, story line, camera angles…yet it is strangely compelling.
Gameplay: 4
Everything about the game play (traditionally speaking) sucks. The game is supposed to be about stealth I suppose, but the funny thing is that you are supposed to “sneak” up on people. You do this by avoiding their “field of vision” marked by a blue area in front of them on the ground. The funny part is that even though you are “sneaking” you are completely out in the open. Your saving grace is that these people can only see 5 feet straight in front of them. The camera controls are inverted which makes them hard to control and every time you make a delivery to people you have to reset the camera with the thumb sticks to line up behind him. If you are looking for stealth, go with a different game.
Graphics: 4
The graphics are what you would expect from an early xbox game…if that. They remind me of the graphics from the original “Sims” game, maybe slightly better. The environments are pretty bare as well.
Sound: 1
What sound? There is a background track that features like 2 instruments (an oboe and something else) that repeats over and over, there is a dance song that happens when you deliver the food and everyone talks like Charlie Brown’s teacher.
Value: 9
Hey, for $3.99 what do you expect? For that much money and the 200 gamer points, you receive, it’s a great deal.
Tilt: 8
All of these poor qualities considered, again I must say…the game is ONLY $3.99!!!!!!! If you can go into the game accepting that I wasn’t made for true entertainment value, but mainly as a sales pitch for BK, it can be loads of fun. The way the King “sneaks” is hilarious, when you hit the “A” button to deliver food and nobody is around, he shrugs his shoulders in and lifts his hands like he’s saying, “What the heck??? WHO???” It’s pretty comical. When you deliver food the excited people jump up and down and talk to you like there is tape over their mouths, so all you hear is excited muffled yelps. The whole thing is pretty funny and you will (like I did) find yourself playing through the missions just to beat them. The game makes fun of itself in every way and does it in a priceless fashion. I can say that these games won’t be around forever (the two BKs in my town are out already), so next time you go and order your Angus Burger Meal for $6.00 (you big spender), fork out the extra $3.99 or this game too!
