Revoltin Youth
SCORE: 80
Gamers usually have one of two reactions
to retro games. Either they love them or they hate them. The WMG feels
there is a market for them. Open Emotion Studios is catering to that
market. Revoltin Youth is a retro video game on the Playstation 3(PS3),
and Playstation Portable(PSP). It is under the Playstation Minis mantra.
Gamers start with one character and move up to more as the game
progresses. Teamwork is required to complete this game.
The graphics look okay for a retro game. There are some neat colors, and
some of them used in a spray can by the player. The backgrounds can get
repetitive within an area. I had trouble seeing ahead, below, etc. This
led to deaths on more than one instance. I learned though, and
thankfully the levels in Revoltin Youth are short. There are a lot of
them though.
The music in Revoltin Youth continued the retro gaming feel. This brings
up an interesting point. Retro games can be limited by technology but
they can also be allow developer to express ideas that were never
illustrated back in that era. Revoltin Youth could pass for a 16-bit
game. But some of the creativity in this title was rarely seen in that
era.
For the price gamers will get their moneys worth out of Revoltin Youth.
There are so many levels and this game does not assist in how to play
it. So you have to figure out everything for yourself. There are also
some bonus movies that are unlocked along the way. The WMG is happy to
see Open Emotion Studios releasing games like this one.
Team work is paramount to success in Revoltin Youth. Players can not get
through areas unless all of their characters are alive. Certain skills
are needed by certain characters to make it through certain areas. This
can be frustrating when a mistake is made, or you can't see what is
coming next to know who to use. Trial and error is the best way to play
Revoltin Youth.
The name of this game should explain what the storyline is about. The
youth are revolting. As if that is anything new in the world. Youth have
revolted all the way back to Satan rebelling against God. One of the
youth spray paints stuff, so that could be construed as vandalism. Is it
vandalism if you are fighting against an evil regime? You can answer
that question for your own family.
