Sneak King is a weird and interesting game, but after that wears off it's just not very fun.

User Rating: 6.8 | Sneak King X360
Graphics

Sneak King's graphics are not good, but impressive for a $4 game. The King's animations are fluid and often amusing. However, the hungry people to whom you must deliver food don't look nearly as good. Their animations are simple and robot-like, and their overall appearance just seems not very polished. There are several different environments in the game, which aren't very big, but appropriate for the objectives. These environments look ok, but seem a bit dull and boring. The King does a hilarious dance after every food delivery, and while it is funny at first, it quickly gets old. Also, you can't skip the dance, so you'll have to watch it after every delivery, which is annoying.

Gameplay

The basic idea of Sneak King is simple: deliver food to hungry people. You earn points for each delivery based on different factors (their hunger, how far away from them you are, and flourish). There are 20 different missions that you can select in each of the environment. These missions have different objectives such as deliver to a certain amount of people in a certain amount of time or hiding somewhere and then surprising people. But the idea is still the same. Each person in the area has a vision cone (much like MGS), and if they see you you have to start the mission over or you lose your bonus score multiplier, depending on the objectives. As the game progresses, the objectives get harder and each person's vision becomes larger. To deliver the food you simply sneak up to a person with a hamburger icon over their head and press A. After that a golf-style meter comes up, and you try to get it as high as possible. This increases your score. As you can probably tell, Sneak King's gameplay mechanics are very shallow.

Sound

Very weak, and very unnoticeable.

Value

Even though Sneak King isn't exactly the definition of a good game, it's still worth picking up. There is a challenge in beating the game if you have the patience, and Sneak King is something that you will want to show your friends. Plus, the 200 available Achievement Points are always good. Expect to play it for about a weekend, and not too much after that.

Verdict

Even though Sneak King is the weakest of the BK games, it's still worth a purchase. It's crazy and weird, but shallow gameplay keeps it from being great. Sneak King gets a 6.9/10.
