The Daily Click ::. Downloads ::. Review Review: Watkins
Firstly I'd like to point out that in the posts and the majority of reviews this game has been overhyped. It's a brilliant game but in my opinion its nowhere near as good as ED or even Fishhead. Presentation Watkins is presented nicely. I particularly liked the maps and the very nice intro movie to the game. It's far above the common presentation in most click games and for a 12 year old this is quite a masterpiece. Gameplay It may be presented beautifully but this game really fell at the gameplay for me. Many people are claiming this engine is a masterpiece but I really didnt like it. Someone even went as far as to say that this game had an unmatched swimming engine but thats simply not true. The character also moves too slow for the game to be fun like fishhead. Fishhead had about as many different types enemies with more interesting AI but the thing that made it fun for me was the fact that you were shooting so many of them throughout the game. Watkins just moves too slow for the game to really feel fun and the enemies are just no fun to shoot. Gratification is an important part of gameplay too. When you shoot something you want to see it die with some nice animation or get blasted back against the far wall. But gratification takes no part in watkins as enemies just sorta fly off the screen without any real feeling of the bullets impact. Gameplay really fell on its face for me in this game and lowered its score considerably. Graphice What can I say about these graphics (by a 12 year old). For a start they are amazing. Lovely little animations that somehow reminded me of all those old lucasarts adventure classics. They are brilliant to say the least. The Intro Animations were brilliant but the in game animations seemed abit... plain. I've already mentioned the stale as hell death animations but the other in game animations arent too great either. Most of the enemies have got about 2 frames of animations and they arent too great looking either. So I'll give animations a 9. Sound And Music The music and sound on this are great. I really can't fault them that much at all. But there are some sounds that dont seem to suit the situations all that much. Lastability This game didnt last long. I've played it through but I just didn't enjoy it. 35 levels is alot and I commend Rohan for such efforts but its too long. I was bored of the Gameplay 5 levels in and It just felt boring. Overall I think I've been pretty hard on this game but its honestly what I think. It's an amazing game but the people saying it's the best click game ever seem to be overhyping it. In the end I've got to say its an amazing game and even more stunning when you realise it was made by a 12 year old but dont expect The best Click game ever. -yuyu
