Wipeout The Game
SCORE: 58
Some ideas may look good on paper but in reality they are not good ideas. Take Wipeout The Game on the Nintendo DS. This is a game that never should have been made. Fans of the ABC television show will be disappointed and those of us who have never heard of it - we will never watch it now. This game has ‘obstacles’ that will try and stop you from getting to the other side. I felt like a chicken trying to cross a road. Or is that a frog? Anyways these obstacles are challenging on multiple fronts. Which I will get to in just a few words.
The graphical glitches in Wipeout The Game are very disappointing. I would land squarely on something, and jump again. My character would walk off the edge into the water. The graphics are not that great, but I noticed certain female characters are wearing as little as they possible can. In a DS game rated ‘E’? Come on ESRB!
The audio sound bytes in Wipeout The Game are irritating. These announcers are constantly trashing the players. They do it by repeating many of the same lines over and over again. They never offer anything helpful, and are a real distraction. Their hateful comments got so bad that I turned the sound completely off.
There are characters and attire to unlock. How do you do it? By playing challenges. This means replaying the obstacles again. Wipeout The Game shakes it up here and there for the player. You might get a few new ones early one. Wipeout The Game boasts thirty-five obstacles. You have to replay many of them multiple times to get to some fresh ones.
The game play in Wipeout The Game is atrocious. Most of what we do is jumping, and the mechanics for that in this game are close to broken. The visuals do not always match up so I spent time guessing when it was safe to move ahead. The controls are awkward at best. Wipeout The Game is one game to just avoid. Learn from my experiences.
The lessons in
Wipeout The Game are to mock others when they fail, treat people like
dirt, and to insult everyone. I am sorry but that is the main lesson in
Wipeout The Game. This hand held video game also teaches us to be lucky.
That is really the only way I ever beat some obstacles and challenges.
Or the game just let me pass after so many failures. No sequels are
needed to Wipeout The Game on the Nintendo DS. I hope to forget this
game because it put me in a real foul mood.
