The Daily Click ::. Downloads ::. Review Review: Unknown Game 2529
Now, this game has an unnecessarily complex install procedure. According to the help file provided in the ZIP, you must install it to the default directory, and having done that you have to unzip the ZIP file that was unzipped from the zipped installer (confused you yet?) into the same directory that you installed the game to (i.e. the default one). I'm not sure why this is, as the provided ZIP file contains the DMC2 object files. Bass.dll is necessary to run the game, but the others just seem to be the object COX file itself and the example files. It would have been better to just include bass.dll in the installer itself. Strange. It's just as well the game's pretty good after that installer. After a Metal Gear Solid style title screen, the objective is to shoot down everything that moves (these being bat-like creatures and nasty-looking blobs that bounce around). This is done by moving the character with the keyboard and firing ludicrous amounts of bullets with the mouse. It's fun, but it's also very repetitive so it soon becomes a little dull. The author has attempted to spice it up a bit with the introduction of such things as bosses and "biological doors", as I like to call them. The bosses rely on the same technique to get past them - don't do anything for a while, then fire vast amounts of projectiles that are near-impossible to dodge, then repeat. I died on the first one, but the boss died at the same time and the game decided to let me off. Graphics are good, though many of them are ripped (as you all know, I see no problem with this as long as they're used well). One problem is that the text on your status bar scrolls off the screen on some levels. The music accounts for half the ZIP file size, and includes a boss music from Resident Evil 2, "Enclosure" from Metal Gear Solid and a dance track that I don't recognise. Who knows, it might even be original. Unfortunately I had to stop on the "water level", as my computer ran it in something approaching bullet-time, so I might be missing something. It's great at first, but it wears off quickly.
