Solomon Says Bible Trivia Volume One Anything Goes
SCORE: 92
Cloud 9 Games, Inc. burst onto the video game scene recently with
"Solomon Says Bible Trivia Volume One: Anything Goes" for the Personal
Computer (PC), and Macintosh (MAC). Cloud 9 Games, Inc. has received a
little help from their friends, in the form of Digital Praise taking up
the publishing responsibilities. This is a buzzer styled trivia video
game that reminds this reviewer of the "You don't know Jack" games. The
announcer has some very biting, and witty commentary on the players
performance. The different selectable players (many are unlockable) also
have comments of their own when the player answers correctly.
The graphics are done extremely well for this style of game. The fact
that the company president worked previously at a large game developer
shows. Certain questions have visual effects that are not only
surprising, but executed quite well. There are images that promote a
relationship with God, and wholesome images are also used properly. The
graphics of this game are very bright and colorful as well.
The sounds in Solomon Says are done quite well. The different
characters have very distinct, and varied voices. They are usually
appropriate with their comments, however there is one issue this
reviewer has. When the player misses questions at times the announcer
tells the player they need to study their Bible some more. It is
understood that the intent of the developer was humor, however this
would not go over well with a non-believer. The other issue with the
sounds is at times the sound bytes can be cut off by other sound bytes,
or be repeated too often. There are sounds that promote the teachings of
the Holy Bible.
There are over five hundred questions, in five different categories
along with quite a few unlockable playable characters. This is a game
that has a ton of fun in the replay department. This is a game that this
reviewer feels is worth the money for some good (pretty wholesome)
Christian video game entertainment. This game can be played with one
person, but is better played with a few people. It is also playable on
the Digital Praise dance pad. The different difficulty settings are
handled extremely well.
The controls on the keyboard work really well, and the dance pad
interface is decent (editor: read the Dance Praise review for issues
with the dance pad peripheral). This is a real fun party game (as long
as the negative comment does not bother you). Many of the questions in
this game can be tough (especially on some of the higher settings).
Solomon Says promotes a Christian world view, has good teachings in
it, and is one this reviewer would recommend to her pastor. There is a
kids version of Solomon Says in development, and more games in this
series. This is a great series, and it is this reviewers hope that they
look at the humorous comments - try and find funny things to say that
are more positive.
