EOE: Eve of Extinction

"The game has so many bugs I need repellant."

Incredibly LAZY PROGRAMMING describes this game better than any other two words. To show how many bugs are in this game, I have written a separate section on it. The game is an average beat'em up, except your main weapons of choice are swords. While the game has a somewhat entertaining side, it fall short of many things.

Graphics(7): Okay, but nothing special. Very average. The problems are the fact that the game has few details. Although certain trademark places(such as MTV), can be found with new names(STV(Song Television)), that doesn't add to city very much. Imagine going to New York City, and when you get there, not a single living soul is existent. Well that's what E.O.E. cities are like: ghost towns.

Sound(8): The voice acting isn't too bad. Still, nothing really great. The music becomes repetitive, though, because it's played many, many times.

Control(8): The word ''average is getting old, so I'm going to describe the controls as mediocre. Jumping can sometimes be a problem, but otherwise, they're your usual.

Gameplay: I'm not going to say a lot here, I need to save it for the bugs section(yes, the game has that many). The weapons are pretty cool, but there's not a lot of them. The enemy A.I. is absolutely simplistic. I could kill an enemy by throwing my controller against a wall! You could probably teach your pet to play it! It's that easy. A cool feature in this game is that you can chose between sequence in cut scenes by pressing the corresponding button that appears on the screen. In this game, history repeats itself. It's not very fun.

Bugs: A.I.
1. As I'm coming toward an enemy with a gun, I watch turn around, and hop back and forth. After about 10 sec.(not a shot has been fired yet), I run behind, only to pathetically watch him fire where I was previously standing! I think that enemy needs to work on their aim. A shooting range should've been included in the game.
2. I'm sneaking up behind an enemy, and I get so close my light saber touches him. But in his world, he's apparently blind, and he starts punching air!? It gets better. He finally turns around and grabs me. What is supposed to appear as if he choking me, it looks like he's getting involved in sexual intercourse.
3. From afar, I can distinctly see an enemy on a rooftop. Now either there's something wrong with my eyes, but after watching him for awhile, he started walking into the wall! The poor guy thinks he can walk on air, or at least he's trying to get there. And for some reason, while all this is occurring, it looks as if he is doing the moonwalk.

Repaly/Extras(1): There's isn't any open-ended gameplay. Your forced to say on one path. I don't recall of any extras, as well.

Unusual programming capabilities destroyed this game. Only rent this game if you want a good laugh. That's really all it's good for.
