Paperboy

"Not very good..."

Game play 4/10 - This game is not bad for the system it was created for, this being the Gameboy. The controls are a bit iffy, but you get used to them if you play it a lot. The game itself is somewhat hard, depending on how seasoned a player you are. Some people may find this entertaining, but most will not. I gave it 1 point for the controls, 2 for the challenge of beating it, and 1 for entertainment which there really wasn't any of. :(

Story 4/10 - In this game you are a paperboy who must face many obstacles while making your daily rounds. If you do a good job, you are rewarded with more houses to deliver to. But, if you miss a house, they stop subscribing. I gave it a 4 for originality, but it is just kind of strange. O_o

Audio/Video 4/10 - The graphics are almost the worst I've ever seen. You can barely tell your guy is riding a bike. And for all we know, the paperboy could be this strange creature from Mars ... The sound is a little better, with the mechanical sounding music always playing. I gave it 3 points for the sound and 1 for the graphics. Wait a minute, what graphics? -_-

Replay Factor 3/10 - Let's see, how to put this. Oh yeah! I would not want to play this more than once, but you might !!! The only possible reason I could think of playing this game more than once is if you have a burning desire to beat any game you have ever seen !!! I gave it a 3 for the number of times you may want to play this. Hahahaha !!! O_O

To buy or to rent, that is the question. - Hahaha !!! *clears throat* If I were to go back in time, I would go back and definitely not pay the $20 I did when I bought it. I think this game would be worth something around ... Hmmm ... $10. Either that or rent it. If you pay anymore then $20 though, you might just have a problem… Like I did when I bought it ... *shakes head*

Overall 4/10 – Overall, this game is lacking many things. It is somewhat original but does not have a very good plot, you probably would not want to play it again, and the sound and graphics are poor.
