Evil Genius

"The game with slidy doors!"

Evil Genius

Overall:
This game is intriguing from the start. It's based in a 60's, James bond type world, with gadgets, and all the other thing and Evil Genius would need to be evil. In this game you are the evil genius, you get to create a base out of a mountain, get minions SLIDY DOORS, and other fun things. This game has many humorous little easter eggs in it.

Graphics:
The graphics are exceptional, very top nothc for a strategy base game. I atucally was very suprised when I first played the game. Every object has a reflection wich is actually hard to do in some games.

Gameplay:
The game was fantastic. The game has plenty of hours of gameplay, 3 different ways to beat it so you beat it once do it the other way. There also are 3 Genius you can chose from. The game was easy to do, it has a tutorial if you need help, and the objective are really easy to understand. I liked how you could get different type of minions like the main minion: workers, then like scientists, and playboys, etc. Though you do also get loyal gaurdians of the genius called Henchmen. Henchmen are much more powerful than minions, and they also have special attacks, and are rareley slayed by the normal agent. Yes unfortunately the forces of good don't want you to take over the world, so they send over saberatours, Super-Agents, etc, to get inside your base steal things back and mainly kill the genius. But you can set up traps, to either catch or kill your enmies before they step foot inside your base. A lot of the things that the minions do around the base are funny, for example, when a worker interrogates, an agents, he may dance like Michael Jackson, how this is a form of interrogation, I do not know. They are all kinds of different rooms involved in this game, like a laboratory, for the scientists, a training room for workers, and lower class minions to become higher class, and even a workers loungue, where they go to relax watch telivisions, and play ping-pong.

Music:
The music was perfect for this game, to give more of a 60s James Bond feel to the game. I absolutley loved the music, I could just sit there listening to the music, and have the game minimized doing other tasks, I liked it so much.

Graphics: 9.0
Gameplay: 10.0
Music: 9.5

Overall :10
