Shipwreckers!

"Ahoy!! Money Going Overboard!!!"

Well.What can I say.I saw the cover and the screen shots on the back and thought:''Wow a Game about Pirates and Ships!!''I played it and the fun was gone.It was fun while it lasted but then the game got competitive and kept blowing me out of the water and I decided to stop it.So I did.But here is the technical stuff.

GRAPHICS

Well this is the only part that made the game good.The Graphics were pretty awesome.Ships look rather realistic and the Bird Eye View was very good idea to do for this game.The Landscape and Water areas looked very realistic for this game and gave it that feeling like you were on an actual pirate ship.But that can only last for so long.

CONTROL

Not that hard to master at all.It was rather the easy part of the game while the others annoyed me very much.It took few minutes to getting used to the control of the ship and switching between weapons but soon I was in full control.But then again this game doesn't require much and it is rather easily mastered.

GAMEPLAY

Well this is the part that really made the game bad.There really was no story behind the game and it was like you were just some pirate that just happened to be running around trying to pass through bunch of strategic areas and make sure that you didn't die in process.So I passed through them and fought off other ships and went through hell and yet no satisfaction.But what do you expect from a game that barely even made any sense in the first place.I guess it was destined to be bad from beginning without a story behind it.

REPLAY VALUE

Well since I basically threw the game in a dark basement and locked the door and threw away the key after the first time playing through it I could not find any replay value whatsoever.So better said the game is a one time try and should be only played once and only if you are being forced into playing it or somehow a magic troll forced you to play it.

Overall the game had a potential of being good if it had a back story and it actually made any sense.Instead you were thrown into a ship and told to go around and get through the stage without dying.Well it could have been fun but I rather poke myself with a stick then play it again.Rent it and don't waste a dollar on this game!!Heck don't even rent it this game ain't worth the rental money that you will spend.Let it sit on the shelf and collect dust rather then give you nightmares of how bad it was.
