Glover

"Glover...The story of a .... glove."

A simple hero, a glove. A simple story, destroy your evil twin. A simple game, you know. Glover, a game where a glove beats up a glove. Now for the show.

The Story: In a quiet peaceful kingdom called Crystal Kingdom, lived a nice wizard. He used his magical gloves to create potions for the kingdom. But one day, amistake was made and KABOOOOOM!! A big explosion sends the gloves flying and turned the wizard into stone. One glove flew out the window and fell on the ground, but the other fell into a pot of pure evil. The safe glove looked up to see the kingdom's life source, the seven crystals, falling to the ground. The glove cast a spell on them a turned them into rubber balls. 6 of the 7 flew out of sight. The glove, named Glover decides to restore the kingdom by returning the 7 crystals.

Graphics: Hmmm... A SNES game looks better. The edges are choppy, and the framerate....ummm....is bad. You could say that Super Mario Brothers is a dream compared to this.
Score: 2

Sound: Ahh.. Now here's your good stuff. Your can hear every grunt to breath and the music is nice and sweet for yuo little people. But....it's too sweet. The Carnival sounds like a carnival and the ocean makes it good.
Score: 9

Controls: Simple, one for jump, one for magic. But when you get to the heart of the game, it's tricky. For example, when rolling on the ball, all the controls are backwards.
Score: 5

Gameplay: This games is going to by so fast, you'll be done. It's is a nice game for younger players because the worst thing you'll see is a whale pelted with a bowling ball. A nice thing is you have 4 different kinds of ball buddies. Your usual ball a bouncy ball. It floats on water, and is the best bouncer. Your second ball is a bowling ball. it doesn't float, but it's the strongest weapon in the game. Next up is the marble. I doesn't float, but it's magnetic (wink). Your final friend is a green crystal. It floats, but is very fragile. It's also the basis of the game.
Score: 4

Overall: Glover is a nice game for our younger audiences, but older hardcore gamers won't aprreciate as much. You'll like that it is easily won, but too easily.
Score: 6
