Carrier

"A res evil clone....not too shabby"

Howdy ho all you peoples. Ok, If you are reading this review, than that probably means either you have not played ''Carrier'' yet, or you just want my stupid opinion. The way I grade this is on several features: Plot, Graphics, Sound, Gameplay, and of course GORE!!!

Plot:

The plot of Carrier is kinda original, and kind of not. You see, in this game, a virus spreads around on a ship. Those who are effected are....how do I say this....uh....screwed. You get effected, you become a big monster person eater thingy. In resident evil, the same thing happend, but some company did it. In this game, they unearth a relic and it sends a virus throughout this ship. like I say, kinda the same, and kind of not.

Graphics:

The graphics for Carrier are good and great. The cutscenes for the game though, are a little lame. Ever play ''Zombies revenge?'' Its got the same kinda cutscenes. Other then that, you get ta blow off heads, blow up legs, and just completely annihilate anything that moves....sept for people. If you could pop a cap in a survivors head, it would be insanely cooler. I guess you could say the graphics are phinominal. I can't spell that word. Oh well.

Sound:

The sound for this game are great indeed. The zombie things moan, and some of 'em laugh. Now thats freaky. They voices are good, but not great. The guns sounds are a little low when far away, and get only a little bit louder. The game would be better if the gunshots were louder and sounded more like gunshots. The explosions are good though. A nice BOOOOOOM is what wins me over. I thought I could hear a zombie things head 'splode, but it was faint. If it was louder and sounded like someone crushed a mellon, it would be better.

Gameplay:

The controls in this game are the same as resident evil. There are only some small differences, though. Like aiming your weapon. Now this I LIKE. You can tell weather you are aiming at the head, arm, body, or whatever. This makes saving ammo and accuracy incredibly better. I love this feature. When you turn around though, the good ol 180 degree thing, you are a little bit slower. If I saw some thing running after me, I would run like hell, but in this game, it takes a little longer to get ta runnin'. This feature is not the best, but it is alright.

GORE!! GORE!!:

Nice gore. When ya pop a creature in the head, blood goes in every direction. When they die, the ground gets covered in blood. Sometimes though, when you kill a creature, it disentagrates. That is not bloody. That sucks. It just isn't that great. But over all, the gore is good. Bloodeh. ^_^

All in all, I give this game around an 8. It has good graphics, but not GREAT graphics. It has good sounds, but not GREAT sounds. It has good gameplay, but not GREAT gameplay. All in all, this game is good though. If you want to be cautious though, I suggest you rent this game first. It gets kinda spooky at night with no lights, which adds to the fun. I enjoy this game a lot, and I beat it more then once. But I still like it. Have fun with.......

CARRIER.
