War Gods

"MSRP of $69.99? What the heck?"

Introduction:
After growing quite displeased with Gex: Enter the Gecko for Nintendo 64, I traded it to my friend for War Gods. Not only did he rip me off by trading a dirt cheap game for a higher priced game, he ripped me off by trading a completely terrible game for a halfway decent yet all annoying video game. There is absolutely no redeeming features to War Gods. None. Nada. Zilch. It is quite possibly the worst fighting game on any system.

Graphics: 1/10
Unless I missed something, wasn't the Nintendo 64 supposed to be way more powerful than the Playstation? Then why does War Gods look like a first generation Playstation title? No wait, it looks like a very early demo version of a first generation Playstation title. Each ridiculously lame looking character looks terrible on screen. Besides each character having terrible character design, they are animated terribly. Each horribly generic level looks like uber-duper-crap too.

Music/Sound: 1/10
Kabuki Joe, you are chosen. Upon hearing those words, I knew that my life had taken a turn for the worst. Upon choosing a character, the game says their moronic name out loud. This provides for quite a few chuckles. Characters also say some stuff during battle. Such as the hilarious "Voodoo!" said by none other than Voodoo. The music for each stage is generic and should not be paid attention to at all.

Story: 1/10
Each fighter is competing to get some green stone that will make them really strong. Or something like that. Trust me, you won't care.

Gameplay: 2/10 I gave this 2 instead of 1 because you can kill Tak in this game. The gameplay is like every other cheap and generic fighter, just a lot worst. A good way to describe it is like trying to play Mortal Kombat 4 while drunk and having a bunch of kids throw tennis balls at your head. Each character has their own move set of "turd-tacular" looking moves. And they each have TWO fatalities. Yes, two. Too bad they both look cheap and crappy. Seriously, this game is not fun, not even for a short while. There are many, many more better fighting games out there.

Replayability: 1/10
You'll want to replay through this game about as much as you'll want to have your wisdom teeth ripped out again.

Overall: 1/10
If you see this game, run.
