Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City
Review by J J N
"They're just using the name "Michael Jordan" to sell this game."
Introduction
Yet this is another game that tries to put your favourite basket ball hero into pixel form and try to make him save the world. One such dubious example is Michael Jordon, some tall basketball dude who is now pixel and is in Windy City. In fact, Michael Jordan in Chaos in the Windy City, is about Micahel Jordan in some haunted city with his basketball that he dribbles around and hits people, I mean, monsters, with it.
This is one of the worse idea of gaming ever made - I mean, what kind of game features a BASKET BALL PLAYER WITH A BASKET BALL in A HAINTED PLACE .... erm, read on and I'll tell you what i mean.
Game Play
Basically you control Michael Jordan, the tall dude that has a basket ball. Now, you're in this haunted city where everything is spooky and such as a headless man with a basketball for a head. I mean, this game isn't suppose to even be spooky and that the theme for this game isn't good at all. Arg.
So you can jump and run and throw different types of basket balls around in the game; some of the balls in the game allows you to freeze your opponents because the balls are, well, ice balls. Some other basketballs in the game is on fire and burns the enemies when it makes contact with them. Do you see the absurdity of the game in here? How does Michael Jordan have the endless supply of basketballs? Shouldn't he be using some guns or colt or machine gun when he is firing at balls, and not some rubber ball that would probably bounce off his enemies when he hits them with it? This game doesn't make sense.
SO when you're not hitting the ulgy enemies with your basketballs, you'll be dunking hoops for extra points in this game. As you can see, anyone who isn't a basketball fan will look at this game with a disgust, because they're just using Michael Jordan name and his pixel entity to sell this game.
Graphics
The graphics for this game is ok; the stages in the game can actually be scary because its all dark and scary added with thet scary music in the game which tries to frighten you. Michael Jordan actually looks like Michael Jordan dribbing around with a basketball all the time and they did a good job modeling him; actually I think that is the only good graphic part of the game.
Conclusion
Yet this is just another game that uses the name ''Michael Jordan'' so they can sell this game. It is horrible and that not fun at all and that I don't recommend you play this game. I mean, it's not really fun throwing rubber balls around ...
