Whacked!

"A pretty good game overshadowed by better games..."

This game is like Mario Party mixed with Unreal Championship. Just like Mario Party its a great game with friends but other than that it sucks, and it isnt a party game... its a shooter.

Gameplay: The levels in this game really resemble the name of this game: they are all whacked! The controls are all good other than the horrible camera angles. It seems like you can control the camera with the right analog stick but it only moves 180 degrees which makes quick turning very hard. Also, the characters are all the same. None of them have special abilities except if your the rabbit, most of the time its ''wabbit season'' and all the missles will go after you. And that sucks. Alot! 6/10

Graphics: For an Xbox exclusive, I was expecting much more than this. I know that they tried to make a cartoony look but it made the level design look waaaay too cartoony. Its also a mix between 2-d and 3-d, I know it sounds crazy but this games Whacked! The clips dont look that bad and are actually funny but its nowhere near the graphics of other great titles. But the graphics arent all that bad its just that I am really picky. 7/10

Story: This is the only great pat of the game. You are on a game show and you play against other contestants to win a mystery prize. This is the only thing that'll keep you playing but after beating it theres nothing left other than Xbox Live. But it still a unique game with a great storyline. 9/10

Replay Value: It has Xbox Live support so this is supposed to be getting a 10 but this game just isnt that addictive offline unless you're playing with friends. The developers did all the best they could to add as much replay value as they can but with games such as Unreal Championship, MechAssault, and Ghost Recon this game just falls short. 9/10

Buy or Rent: If you dont have the online demo then rent this game because thats all you need. But if you really need to know what the prize is then just ask people on the message board. IMO the prizes sucked and weren't funny at all. Rent

Overall: The gameplay and idea of this game ruin this game. This game is great if you have the online demo and want to play a unique game with your friends but other than that you wont really find much in this game. 6/10
