The Mansion of Hidden Souls

"The worst game ever made...really,it is."

First of all,Mansion Of hidden souls is rated kids to adults.The title sounds like a cool third person prespective
action/horror game but it isnt,so dont get your hopes up for the game because of the title.Let me clarify this,the game is no good,so I hope this review is helpful.

Graphics:5/10
The graphics in Mansion of hidden souls are okay,they are not the best I have seen,and their not the worst I have seen.The mansion you play in and all the rooms you explore are for one horribly rendered.During gameplay,heads often pop up telling you stuff,the people look okay,and the mouth
movements arent all that bad.But still,a great portion of the game is jaggy and blocky,but it is still okay for Sega Saturn graphics.

Controls:1/10
The controls in this game is utterly horrible,your in first person prespective,and the only options you have is up,left,right,and down,you cant move allover the mansion,you have one direct route,and you take that route by pressing,up,down,left,right.Because of that,I have to give he controls a 1.It can really give you major cramps in your thumb.Basically,the controls are sloppy,slow and horrible,it will take possibly hours to get used to it.

Gameplay:1/10
The gameplay is slow and horrible.You go into one room,and if it has a soul in it,a control pops up from the botom of the screen,really...what is up with that?When you get right down to it,the gameplay just sucks.Basically,I can sum the gameplay up in five little words,slow,sloppy,crappy,and beyond.Nobody on earth can find the gameplay in this game impressive...seriously.

Sound:3/10
The sound is horrible!The charcter voices sound horrible,there is no backround music,just a clock ticking that can really push you over the edge.But,when you open the doors in the mansion,it sounds pretty good,but other than that,its just plain bad.Horrible sounding voices,and that constant annoying clock makes the sound a definite hated.Might I also add that the sound is also depressing.

Funfactor:1/10 (I wish I could give it a zero!)
Dont even mention the funfactor,there is not a damn thing in this game thats fun.Walking around pointlessly in a mansion,looking for souls without a motive is NOT fun.Pointless wandering,makes the funfactor horribly boring.
When you get straight to the point,the funfactor is horrible and boring...simple as that.

Graphics:5/10
Controls:1/10
gameplay:1/10
sound:3/10
funfactor:1/10 (it deserves a zero!!)

Best feature:You can turn it off
Worst feature:everything.

Try instead:Anything else that has nothing to do with this.

What I would rather do:jump off the Sears tower head first into a thumtack.(Figure of speech)

Final statement:Do not be fooled by the title like I was.

A good thing:I only payed two bucks for this,but it still wasnt worth two bucks.

Overall scor:1/10

Bad voice acting,horrible sound,slow gameplay,and no funfactor makes Mansion Of Hidden Souls a definete hated.
