Quest for Camelot

"How can they sit there, day after day, to program some absolute crap"

''One day I walked into electronics boutique with $5, little did I know I'd actually walk out with a game as I only went in to see what new games were coming out on the GBA/PS2 and right by one of the games I sold them, I saw this. Looking at the back of it gave away that it was a Zelda clone and it had been reduced to $5! Without a thought, I purchased it. I don't know if that was a curse, or a punishment for something I did wrong, but from now on I try the rom first.''

Controls 7/10:

Ugh, the collision detection is, put simply, horrid. Your charater lags whenever more than 2 NPCs are in the same place as you, and the battle system is horrible as it isn't a test of skill, but a test of how you can dodge the horrible collision detection while your enemy convienently runs into all of your attacks


Storyline 2/10:

I really hope the movie isn't like this, or there will be some unhappy customers here, anyway, this story is pure 100% crap. You spend most of your time looking for the Excalibur in places it wouldn't possibly be in, and sit around as Merlin - the all powerful wizard who could easily end the quest for you, but he makes you be a little housemaid and do all kinds of retarded quests for him. The rest of the storyline doesn't flow at all, it's sort of like they chopped out some really good quests from other games, then broke them and put it in this... you will find yourself doing meaningless quests that have nothing to do with the game, just to make it longer.


Graphics 2/10:

The torture continues, these are quite possibly the worst graphics on a portable system(Sega DC VMU has done better), the colors looks dry and tired, and can't even be fixed by the GBA's darker colors, the NPCs look big and cheaply drawn, the animation is very cheesy and messed up to the point where glitches/faults/laziness can EASILY be seen


Sound 0/10

MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP!!! The sound on this game will have you in tears, it sounds like they were trying to make good sounds, but had someone wrassling a plastic bag in the background.


Music 0/10:

Ahh.... can this even be classified as music? It is just a bunch of chaos bunches up together to make some sort of....... thing.. If you've read any of my reviews you may or may not notice that I love to listen to game music, and this dealt a mortal blow to that part of me... All I can say is, if this curse is bestowed upon you, use the music off feature...... immediately


Overall 1/10:

How could they take such a great game engine and screw up this bad, just when I thought Shaq Fu was the worst, here comes another game that will leave a bad taste in your mouth


Replay Value 0/10:

If you play through this once, which you most likely wont, you wont ever want to again


''To buy or to rent''

Just put it back on the shelf.. and keep walking, you're only helping yourself..
