you know your in for a real treat when the opening video is a blocky FMV SEGACD style sequence shot with a camcorder

this game is a disasterpiece, from the very start of the game you can tell what you have on your hands here.

first off, pre-rendered graphics? this is the gamebreaker right here, and before you think i might have a problem with pre-rendered graphics that's not true.

i love the classic RE series and FF series as well, but come on this game is from 2006 and they they expect me to play this on my 42' monitor? this game looks horrible on my 20 inch LCD let alone my 42'.

i didn't make it very far in this game, but i played enough of it to know what it is; if you stepped in something and your shoe stinks later you most likely know what it is later, seems like a good analogy for this game.


although, i really shouldn't be too hard on it cause like i said in the deck; 'you know your in for a real treat when the opening video is a blocky FMV shot with a camcorder'.

i stepped right into a big pile, then knowingly stuck the other foot in and almost went waist deep. I'm glad i got out before it got too deep.

i honestly probably only played 5-10 minutes of this game and wouldn't wish it off on my worst enemy, but then again...

if you like low resolution pre-rendering, and blocky FMV sequences taped with a camcorder from the 1980's, you might want to give this on a try.
