Seventh Cross Evolution

"Not good at all."

This game has very few things going for it.

No story: The game doesn't even try and explain why you can mix creatures together into a horrible looking monster. On top of this, it doesn't even give you a sense of accomplishment when you beat it. The opening cut-scenes don't help very much because they seem designed to showcase the graphics instead of actually explaining what you have to do in the opening minute of the game.

Bad graphics: The parts of your creature do not go together at all. Even if you match all of the parts of your creature (which is hard to do) most of the time it looks horrible. The seams are quite apparent and in some cases even having all matching parts on your creature it will look terrible no matter what. The battle animations are horrible and normally don't even look like what they are suppose to look like. The game has horrid load times and on top of this it lags. When your in battle with more than one creature your game may freeze up and every once in a while you will have to just turn off your console if it freezes. The games timing is also off a bit. Sound quality (while bad) doesn't match up to some of the actions on screen. While in battle you will have instances where a sound effect will not happen until the battle sequence is over. This gets very old very fast and is only a minor annoyance compare to the horrible battle system itself.

Bad creation system: This is the key part of the game. While using a very basic form of Paint you supposedly draw your own genetic DNA sheet. In most cases it is just easier to just scribble and hope for the best since it is apparent that there is no pattern to what you draw and what part you get.

The game has some fun parts especially when you create a very strong body part by mistake. While the game is actually fun at times these fleeting moments of enjoyment are buried under piles of mediocre crap.

Therefore, I suggest not to play this game at all cost and if you must then play it through very quickly so you don't have to spend more of your life playing this very poorly made game.
