Mister Mosquito

"Sucking blood has never been this fun."

This game rocks.
I will rate this game on five aspects,Graphics,Gameplay,
Audio,Control,and Story,each category worth 2 points.

Huh, what's that??? Oh, another table.
Graphics 1/2
The only reason this got a one was the fact that you can actually tell what things are. This looks like a high-res
N64 game. The colors are bland. Every level is really a big box with wallpaper and some tables, plus the unfortunate sap you have to suck blood from. However,its not graphics that make or break the game, that would be...

Hey! Who knew sucking blood was this much fun!
Gameplay 2/2
I'll be honest with you. This game is downright addictive.
The graphics may be sub-par, level design may be half-@$$ed
but it is fun. And hilarious. The gameplay consists of flying around, sucking blood,(obviously),and interacting with stuff. One thing, though.You can only suck from certain spots. For example, in the first level, your target is laying down. Your suckspot is on her leg, but she is laying down on it! What does a mosquito do?? You interact with the light to make her get up, thus revealing the suckspot!!! However, it would tone the fun down if the audio was bad...

Is that music!!!!! No....
Audio 1/2

No music. At all. So why did it get a one and not a zero??
Sound effects. They are actually pretty good. They fit the situation. The sound of the sound effects are good. With nothing else to say on the subject, we move on to...

Control 2/2

It is really one and a half, but I cant have a fraction in the review. For the most part, they are pretty fluid. The control setup is pretty good, also. So, without further adieu,onto Story...

Story 2/2

The story is actually good. It sure isnt an RPG, but it puts all that bloodsucking into context without bogging you down. You have to suck blood to survive the summer. However, your target family, the Yamadas, arent so accommodating. They will use every means possible to kill you. This can be pretty hilarious. I cant say anymore without spoilers.

Overall

This game is a real love/hate thing. If you want a flight sim, look elsewhere. If it's adventure your looking for, your going to be disappointed. If your looking for a mix, this game is going to leave a smile on your face.

Buy/Rent
Rent first, to see if you like it. Then, if you like it, buy. Might take some looking though.
