Elements of Destruction
SCORE: 64
Want to know something interesting? The hand held version of Elements
of Destruction has a lower rating than the home console version. I guess
there is less violence and destruction in the Nintendo DS version. Since
we have not reviewed the home console version of Elements of Destruction
I am unclear as to why there is such a difference. I do have my official
suspicions.
I was not sure what kind of a video game Elements of Destruction would
be before I played it. This television weather man is in trouble because
he reports the different storms. He is asked to only report sunny
weather. The viewers only want to be told about the good times, and
sunny weather according to this lady. The man refuses and is fired. He
gets replaced by someone that will only report sunny weather.
Can you guess what this television weather man does next? He starts to
use his invention that creates storms to decimate the local area. We
release storms in an area and can control them. The graphics look okay
for this era. We send storms to destroy houses, businesses, power
plants, crops and more in Elements of Destruction. We can slightly
control them while they are out there.
Storms in Elements of Destruction will dissipate in a certain amount of
time. We can have two storms active at one time. The issue is we can
only control one at a time. So we must quickly swap before the other
storm dissipates away. There are power ups in Elements of Destruction
that will make the storms more powerful. The music in Elements of
Destruction is fun to listen to. There is an almost horror element to
this game.
The levels in Elements of Destruction have a time limit. The more we
destroy in that time limit the better in Elements of Destruction. In
some ways Elements of Destruction remind me of games like Rampage. We
must destroy as much as possible as fast as possible. I found making the
storms go back and forth over certain structures would take them out
faster. There is a mini map that shows the remaining buildings.
