You know... I really have to retract my statements against Tim Burton.

Since 'Alice' has been back in discussion (and our talk about Tim Burton's world), there are some things that I now regret saying.

In this (self imposed) aspect of the man's image. He is really more delightful than I once thought he was. I owe all this to a movie I recently seen (and now respect due to real world conflicts) for the 2nd time... "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

It shows that this is a man (regardless how dark his is), really has a good heart after all. At least that is the message I got from his story.


Ok.. Back on subject...

I've read that article, I really like his earlier works on Doom II, and the first two Quake games (especially Quake II, I friggin' love that game)

Sadly, not many people play Quake online said, because it's a real great multiplayer game.

I'm BACK!

Ok, I finally made some time to play this game. I started it about a week and a half ago and just completed it a short while ago. The game wasn't quite as long as I was expecting.

** WARNING - SOME (LIGHT) SPOILERS MAY BE IN THIS POST SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME YET - SKIP TO FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THIS POST FOR TODD'S SPOILER-FREE BOTTOM LINE **

The game has some beautiful imagery, amazingly detailed graphics (especially for a game that was released in 2000). Some of the imagery was even a little disturbing - I was very impressed! Although the polygon count and models were lower resolution than today's games, for what they were and for the time they were made, the graphics really were very good, aside from some very lack-luster (rushed-looking) animation in some areas. Most of the main character animation was very good.

The music, mood, look and feel of the game was dark, evil, twisted, and very cool! The story was compelling and there were some very dark and unexpected moments - especially when certain characters unexpectedly get killed off. I was genuinely surprised by that and LOVED it!

Sadly, for all the very cool imagery, beautifully designed levels, fitting music, dark concept, etc., I felt the weakest part of this game was the actual game play itself. It was an almost constant attack by bad guys rushing you. That is part of most action games, but that seemed to be the main part of this game as opposed to just a portion of it.

I would have much preferred something with more of an adventure feel to it rather than constantly battling my way through the cards and other bad guys - some of which were annoying difficult to defeat until obtaining the Jabberwock's Eye Staff.

In that respect, I am disappointed in this game. With all the VERY cool things in there, the game play itself was less than impressive and seemed tedious and not very entertaining many times throughout the game. I think I wore out my F4 key (quick save) because I had to quick-save after surviving EVERY bombardment as I died very frequently during game play. I died WAY too much - it was very annoying. I started out playing on the hard level, but about 1/3 the way through, I could not continue, so I had to start over on the medium setting. Even on that setting, the game was quite difficult, even to an annoying factor at times. Again, I think that is in part because the main part of game play was just get attacked constantly and survive. That type of game play worked in early 80's 2D games, but doesn't make for a good modern gaming experience in my book.

There were some well placed BOO moments in the game, which nearly made me crap my pants. That was pretty damn cool! I mean, I LOVE a good scare in a game. There should have been more of those, although too many would probably detract from the fun of being scared out of my skin.

A couple of really annoying things on the technical end: I love wide screen aspect and don't mind a letter-boxed view. BUT I hate when the developer's idea of wide screen is simply SQUISHING the damn image vertically so that everything looks short and fat. WTF? The whole intro video sequence AND final ending video sequence were both SQUASHED and it distracted me and detracted from the enjoyment of those parts. Even the "Rogue" intro to the game was squashed. Who in their right frickin' mind thinks SQUASHED looks good? Get a clue, guys. Go back to school and PAY ATTENTION when they teach you about a little something called ASPECT RATIO! I'm sorry - I really hate squashed or stretched looking video and usually refuse to watch it when I stumble upon a video like that. (And yes, I remember the short squashed recognizer sequence in TRON and it annoyed me even when I was a kid.)

All in all, I did enjoy the game, although I'd have to say it was a bit of a let-down. Hat's off
