Tragic.....Just Plain Tragic....
User Rating: 1.7 | Charlie's Angels GC
Its my own fault, a brand new GC game for 3.99? How could I walk away from that, even if it stunk I could use the case to replace my damaged Eternal Darkness Case. I mean really? How Bad Could it Be? I didn't think anything could steal the title of worst game of this Gen away from X-Boxes "Robocop" but here we are with Neko and Ubisoft proving me wrong. They should have named this game: Charlies Angels: Bug City The Gameplay was just horrid, I mean just beyond anything I can discribe. Since the advent of the SNES and the addition of more then three useble buttons have I seen a game with such basic and BAD gameplay. Kick, Punch, Block. Took me back to the STreets or Rage days for my Genesis. And more often then not I would misfires where I would press a button and NOTHING would happen, There is no system to fighting the enemies in this game just button mash, the enemies run right at you and as long as you mash mash mash you will walk away from the battle no problems. Basically you run from one area to the next, it is as straight foward as: Find Button A to Unlock Door B so you can get Key C to Get into Area D, No real reason for doing anything, and the storyline just was not there, and what was there was stupid and had little to know valid plot, that I could care about, as far as I was concerned he can HAVE the monuments if he wants just so I can avoid playing this game anymore. The Graphics are SOOO glitchy it HURTS me, Enemies "blinking" and getting stuck and vanishing, and the detail of everything is sub SNES levels, games like Bubsy and Plok on SNES looked better and ran better. There is not one aspect of the graphics that looks finished. Everything was just weak, The Levels look bad, the Characters look bad, And the facial rendering looks like it was done in someones basement. BAD BAD BAD The Sound is just again AWFUL, the actual voices were used but in some cases the girls sound like they were reading off a cue card, or calling in their lines from a cell phone while crusing up the strip. And it JUST KEEPS REPEATING OVER AND OVER, I mean what were they thinking when they created this game? The musical track reminded me of a cleaned up version of NES's Dick Tracy Value, as I have done in the past I rate Value in to ways, Play Value how much I want to play the game through, and replay value would I play it again. I didn't and I won't The ONLY reason this game gets a two in value is because Nintendo wanted to charge me five bucks + shipping for a empty game case where Charlies Angles gave me one for 3.99. Overall, what can I say. This review may be short by my standard but its just that bad, not even worth a FREE Rental, Avoid ! -Z
