Glover

"Good, and probably fun, for the first 20 minutes........"

I traded my friend for this game. After seeing some of the commercial's on TV, I thought it looked REALLY cool. So I went ahead and traded. I found out it wasn't that good at all........

Graphics: 10/10

One good quality of this game is it's graphics. You are a full 3-D glove in a 3-D world. Sound tempting? It's not. Graphics may be the only good thing about this game. Fully 3-D world, cut scenes, graphics are good. If it weren't for it's graphics, this game would have got a lower rating.

Control: 5/10

The control was.....kind of hard. With there being several things you can do with one button, not very fun to control. When you move around using the analog stick, heh it's not something you'll like. It's more like your gliding a glove around a 3-D world more than having it run. You can walk, but you need to glide a ball around and that's what makes it hard.

Gameplay: 2/10

Oh, look, so...fun. I'm rolling a ball around and shooting it into a door. Seriously, gameplay, BAD BAD thing. Basically you go into different level's and roll the ball to the end. You must collect a certain number of marker's for the hole to open to throw the ball into. After it opens, throw the ball in and repeat for the next level. Boring, VERY boring.

Plot: 3/10

This game BARELY has a plot. Ok, the game starts out with a REALLY fat wizard making some kind of potion. He takes some ingredients and just throws them in. An explosion happens and one of his gloves go out the window and one goes into the potion. The glove that goes in the potion becomes evil and the glove that goes out the window is the glove YOU control. It's name is Glover. When the explosion happens, crystals fly off the top of the castle and Glover shoots them and turns them into balls. They fly into doors and become sealed off. You must collect them. Sound fun? Not really.

Music: 2/10

I think I'm being nice just by giving this game a 2 in music. The music in this game is SO bad you may want turn it off and throw it out the window or mute your sound. Really, this game didn't have any good music if it had any. Really, REALLY, bad when it comes to music.

Rent or Buy?

I think you should rent this game first. I don't think you should buy it because you will end up wasting your money and throwing it out the window. If you RENT it you will be happy to bring it back as soon as possible. But you MAY want to buy it just to do science experiment's on it suck as seeing how far you can throw it without it breaking.

Overall: 4/10

I give this game a 4!!!! Mostly everything was bad. The only thing saving it was the graphics. Bad music, bad gameplay, bad plot, but good graphics. This game's graphics were a definite save for it.
