Blue Stinger

"Ripoff or Breakthrough?"

A Survival Horror game or a Pure Horse Mung? You Be the Judge.
GRAPHICS- 7/10:
---------------

The Graphics are pretty much what you'd expect from the dreamcast. This Sucka push's some pretty good graphics But graphics aren't everything in a game. Some of the monsters look like purecrap. And the game is majorly effected when Multiple monster come at you at once. I saw a couple Disappear only to reappear infront of me at parts. So While the graphics are good. The Also Suck in some parts.

SOUND- 3/10:
-------------
OKay you popped the CD in and your about ready to play. MUTE IT! Man the Sound is horrible. If I had to hear the Jingle from the Hello Market one more time I was gonna upchuck! And the Sound Effects aren't any better. Once and a While You'd get no sound when hitting a monster but magically 3 mins later. A Sound Effect that should have ran before. Suddenly Runs. I don't know if It was my copy of the CD or not but man it was horrible. And to top it off the voice acting. Use to frequently. TOTALLY SUCKED!

CONTROL- 7/10:
----------------
Damn the only good part of the game. The Controller was Well THough thought out. I just wished the rest of the game was. I mean it was real easy to pull off a chain with your short range weapon. Turn around and run before turning to face him again to let lose on him with your long range weapon. Good Work Here.

GAMEPLAY- 3/10:
-----------------
How Many times can Some one Copy Resident Evil? If this was oh 5 years Ago this would have got a 10. Instead its getting a 3. Why. Because they copied some one else's concept for a game. Well they added 2 different types of attacks and 2 Different characters on the fly. WELL WHOOPIE! 4 Words, Been their done that. Now as the ending credits lead us to believe theirs gonna be a Blue Stinger 2? PLEASE COME UP WITH YOUR OWN IDEA!

REPLAY- 1/10:
---------------
Replay? HA. I played it once then never again. Well that's just me. But To up the replay. Every time you play through it again they give you more items. Who cares? The games still pure crap. I wouldn't Put it back in the system if I had a gun to my head and was being forced to. Please before you shell out 50 for it. Put it back in your pocket. Go buy something else. Or hell Rent it.

OVERALL- 4.2/10:
---------------
Overall its a Average game. Its been done before. But I know theirs fans of the Survival Horror Stuff that Will go out and play it to death. Mindless Drones. If you really want a Survival Horror game people. Please Play Code Veronica! So Lets recap. Okay Graphics, Crap Sound, Okay Controller, Copied Gameplay, and No replay ability. Well Then you got your self a game that You'd be better off Renting.
