One Epic Game
SCORE: 67
One Epic Game earns
points for such an epic name for a game. This iPhone/iPod Touch game is
a run and gun. In case your not versed on that term, let me explain.
This is a game with a character that is running from left to the right.
He shoots enemies as they come up to him. One Epic Game includes a
mountain of jumping, and shooting.
One Epic Game is a game that mocks itself and the genre. You know I was
talking to our EIC recently about the younger generation mocking things.
I wonder if there is a connection between mocking in video games and
their being disrespectful to their elders. Someone should do a study.
Anyways the characters in One Epic Game insult one another, and make fun
of what is happening in the game.
Bad language is one of the problems with One Epic Game. I was pretty
shocked to see some of it in this game. Then I saw it had in essence a
'T' for Teen rating. Although Apple decides kids at the age of twelve
are ready for this kind of content. Always pushing for younger ages.
Thankfully Chillingo allows players to skip the cut scenes with most of
the bad language.
One Epic Game is a violent game with some blood in it. Players wade
through hundreds of bodies. This includes zombies, Nazis, aliens,
knights, and more. After a while all the murdering becomes common place.
I did not care what I was murdering in One Epic Game. I just knew it was
between me and the end of the level.
Speaking of the end of the levels in One Epic Game. Could they be any
farther from the beginning. These levels are long and very difficult.
The jump button is on the left and the shooting button is on the right.
Just don't shoot things like cows because the game will deduct points.
The levels look randomly generated.
Expect to jump in One Epic Game - a lot. The music in this iPhone/iPod
Touch game is very upbeat and energetic. Which is the silver lining in
this storm cloud. I would say that adults only are the ones in the
family who should play One Epic Game. I do not see this game for kids in
any way, shape, or form.
