Flick Champions
SCORE: 74
I will be completely transparent when it
comes to Flick Champions. I started to play this game and did not like
it. Not one bit. It boasts these eight sports - Soccer, Basketball,
Hockey, Tennis, Bowling, Archery, American Football and Golf. I
guarantee the "sports" in Flick Champions are not what you are
expecting. Why? Because they were not what I was expecting.
The first thing I noticed about Flick Champions is how small the
graphics are. Okay so I have block sports characters. In many of the
sports I can barely see them with the ceiling high view. No matter how
gentle I tried to do things in Flick Champions it seemed to be on
overcharge. Balls would go flying fast. I hoped that something good
would happen, and not something bad.
I enjoyed the music in Flick Champions, as well as the special effect
sounds. Especially when I scored a goal. I love scoring goals in Flick
Champions. The fans cheering is one of the more realistic aspects of
this game. I did not find offensive content while playing this game. I
did find instructions on how to play.
Flick Champions really shines in the extras department. When you start
playing only four of the eight sports are accessible. Players earn
experience by playing the games. More is earned by winning at the sports
than losing. There are tournaments which include multi-player local
play. Multiple cups for each sport, and numerous extras to unlock. Flick
Champions is worth the entrance fee in terms of unlockable content.
The artificial intelligence in Flick Champions gets progressively more
difficult as players progress through the cups. I found some instances
where Flick Champions controlled masterfully. Others it would go off on
a weird angle with no explanation. In a tight basketball game this could
cost a match, and an entire tournament. A couple of us tested it with
the same results. We could never figure out why it would go off weird
some times.
Sports games will generally teach team work. Flick Champions has a few
glimmers of this, but not a lot. Players can pass in sports like soccer.
But then they control that player so there is not a real team feel in my
opinion. Scoring more points faster than your opponent is what I learned
from Flick Champions. I would like to see sequels in the future. It is
an interesting concept.
Flick Champions is not what I was expecting. It tries something
interesting that can be very addictive. Some people here at Family
Friendly Gaming jumped on board and love this app. Others did not take
the dive off the high board.
