Bibleman A Fight For Faith
SCORE: 95
Bibleman is one major behemoth. This reviewer was humbled to be able
to take the time to play such a well known brand name. If you are not
aware of who Bibleman is, then you need to learn (and fast). Bibleman is
a Christian DVD/VHS series that is a superhero, sci-fi theme. This
reviewer's eldest son is totally into Bibleman, Biblegirl, and
especially Cypher. Put on the full armor of God, as we analyze Covenant
Studios, Inc.'s first title. Some seriously high expectations were
thrown at this title, and most of that has to do the DVD it is based off
of.
Graphically Covenant Studios hit a home run as far as this reviewer
is concerned. The overhead view is exactly what this reviewer is into
(think of the Sims, or Ultima Online). The level of detail of the
characters, and items is done really well. The Biblecave is an extra
special treat. There are games that are more graphically intense on the
PC (Personal Computer), and they require the latest hardware to run
them. Bibleman does a very good job in the graphical department, without
forcing the player to upgrade their PC. The graphics are bright,
colorful, good details, and realistic artwork. There are images that
promote a relationship with Jesus Christ. Wholesome images are also used
properly. Enemies vanish after being vanquished.
The Wacky Protestor has one of the funniest lines in the game
(Bibleman and a chrome bumper is what it is in regards to). All of the
voices from the DVD are on this game, and that totally rocks. Speaking
of rocking, this game includes original music from the Rock N' Roll
Worship Circus. An alter call is given at the end of the game that comes
directly from the DVD. A few of the audio clips are repeated a bit too
often, but that is forgivable.
There is not a lot in the way of extras in this game. There are three
difficulty settings, and different settings to add to the difficulty of
the game. Play starts with Cypher, and/or Biblegirl. Bibleman is
unlocked in the game. This game is for one player at a time. This
reviewer feels that ones hard earned money is well spent on a game like
this. It took this reviewer four hours to beat the first time on easy,
however children will take longer on this game.
The controls work really well in this game. The one issue this
reviewer had is how short Cypher, and Bibleman have with their reach in
deflecting shots back at the enemies. None of your superheroes can
attack the enemies directly. The enemies shoot at the player, and the
player deflects the shot back at the enemy. There are also levels that
involve finding certain items, and then finding the right person. The
best level is the unbeatable level (talk about shocking the player).
This reviewer also found this game a whole lot of fun to play while it
lasted. Who doesn't want to play as Bibleman, Biblegirl, or Cypher?
This game is very family friendly. Enemies vanish after being shot,
family values are promoted, a Christian world view is taught, awesome
teachings are in it, pastors would play this game, it was a joy to
review, and you gotta know that we want a sequel to this game. Covenant
Studios did an awesome job with their first game, and we are expecting a
lot of great things from them in the future. The hard to earn Family
Friendly Gaming seal of approval is also bestowed.
