The Act
SCORE: 73
One of things we like to see at Family
Friendly Gaming is different kinds of video games. The Act is one of the
most unique and interesting experiences we have played in some time. It
can be difficult to explain what this hand held video game is all about.
The best description I can give is an interactive cartoon.
There are some amazing looking cartoons in The Act. The animation is at
the level of a Disney movie. There is some mild enticement to lust in
how the nurse is portrayed. Especially in the main characters fantasy of
her. The Act also contains a few images of cigarettes and cigars. This
is actually mild in my opinion.
The storyline is one of the coolest parts of The Act. I had no idea
where this game was taking me. It starts out with a window washer
fantasizing about a nurse. Then he has to keep his brother working while
the boss watches. From there we have to sneak into the hospital to stop
our brother from getting a brain transplant.
Out of the thousands of video games I have played, there are very few
that are genuinely funny. The Act is absolutely hilarious. This ranges
from things that actually happen in the storyline, and things that will
happen if we mess up a scene. In fact seeing what happens if we are too
aggressive is actually an interesting part of The Act.
The controls in The Act can be confusing as first. We swipe right and
left to change how the main character deals with a situation. Some
scenes require we move back and forth at certain intervals. The Act
contains unlimited continues. This is nice to help players make it
through the game. The bad side is players can breeze through The Act.
Players can try and improve their scores, and see all the different
animations. I still wish The Act was longer.
I enjoyed my time with The Act. This iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch game is a
completely different kinds of experience. It reminds me of Dragons Lair
in some regards. The Act is kind to players by offering advice when
there are repeated failures. I never felt like any scene in The Act was
impossible. I did enjoy beating each and every one of them.
