El-Fish

"You'll Want to Throw your Fish Tank"

This game is very old, older than what you think, and it surprises me that being this old it only has one review and that I am writing the second, or maybe someone esle is writing another one, but who knows, anyway, as I was saying, it is very old, it is like 10 years or so old.

Graphics - 6

If you see this game's graphics you wil notice that they are the worst you have ever seen, but I already told you why is that, it's because it was released 10 years ago so what do you expect, GameCube graphics? This game has 100 3-D fish posses but it saves them in a 2-D sprites. But even tough I judged it from the perspective that this game was release so long ago I still think that the graphics of El-Fish are pretty bad, I have played other games in this computer and I haven't quite yet seen this bad graphics, but they are not the worse, it just like seeing a sort of squared character in the Nintendo 64, just because its somehow squared it doesn't mean that is the worse, but still this graphics could have some work done.

Gameplay - 1

Well, this game is pretty pointless, all you have to do is design the fish that you want to have in the aquarium and that about it. Well, you can also desing what are the interior decoratings of your aquarium so that the visitor are confortable, unfortunately, it a game and no visitor will ever come, but at least this game has two feature. And there is also other thing to do, you can turn the light off when you want to and also on obviously, and another thing is to give your fishes food since they can't survive without it, actually, yes they can because they never die so, see why I told you it was pointless? I wonder what the maker of this game had in mind when making this game, maybe they were thinking about their Tamagotchis, and they would create somehow like that and that they will never die since seeing their Tamagotchis dye was sad, but who knows because all you cando to you fish is give them food but they don't actually need it, maybe they are mechanic fishes or something because they can eat but if you don't give them food they will never die, and they never grow either so there's no point on watching them. The gameplay was the most dissapointing gameplay I have ever seen.

Sound - 3

Well, I really think that the sound is just like this game, it is pretty bad, but maybe in the time that it was made it was one of the most greatest sound, like today is Digital Sound, but it has nothing to do will Digital sound and the music, well I recommend that you play with no volume.

Length - 0

There is no length on this game, you create a fish and leave it there, you will nevr win or lose since all you can do is watch, so there nothing to do in this game so there's no length.

Replay Value - 0

Why would you want to play this game again, you don't evern know if it ever ends and if you start all over it will be the same, except with less fish.

Conclusion - 5

Do not, I repeat, do not play this game becasu those poor fishes in you fish tank will never receive food from you again since you will think that they don't need food like this fishes and they will die, so don;t waste your time with this.
