And out of left field races The Last Guy, a Hindu Superman with a trident and a huge line of fans...
The storyline is simplistic: A mystersious purple beam has struck the earth and turned everyone into zombies... except they aren't zombies they're huge monsters of varying types. They can't be stopped and all humanity can come up with is to hide inside buildings until The Last Guy shows up to lead them to safety. Why is The Last Guy Hindu/wearing a cape/carrying a trident that he NEVER sticks the zombie/monsters with? This we may never know. All we know is that The Last Guy has just a few minutes to race across the world's cities and gather enough survivors for the United Rescue Front to save in the nick of time.
Sure the gist of it Is PAC-MAN-like, but this game is flat out genius. Using real satellite maps it sucks you in with an incredible challenge: How the hell are you supposed to save everybody in the city in under a few minutes with all these monsters scattering your lemming-like people? Apparently is can be done, but that's why I float between Hard and Extremely Hard.
Graphics: 6 Yea, it's not terribly pretty to look at but the city is sure realistic!
Controls: 8 Simple and easy to use. You really can't complain if you mess things up.
Music: either a 9 or a 2 Can't really decide. I either love or hate that song.
Fun: 10 Yep, this is a fun game.
Replayability: Umpteenbillion. There's no way you can play just once.
A stroke of genuis just put Hindustan Entertainment on the map. The Last Guy is cheap and crazy addictive.
