Revolution X
Reviewed by Czris Hanford
I bought this game thinking that it would be as fun or nearly as fun as the arcade
game. It's not.
Graphics 7 out of 10
The graphics aren't anything special, and the animations of Aerosmith are basically
two frames constantly repeated. There is nothing really to say about the graphics,
but they function OK. Don't expect arcade perfection. (Event though the arcade
versions graphics aren't fantastic either)
Music and Sound 7 out of 10
Expecting way cool Aerosmith songs. Nope. They basically have ten seconds of sound
looped over and over and over until the point of wanting to throw your TV and Super NES
out the window of a 20 story building. The music is pushed into the foreground with
the occasional explosion and grunt from enemies. The end boss says some things but
I wouldn't go orgasming over it. Aerosmith playing "Dude looks like a lady" for about
10 seconds at the end doesn't really redeem the game.
Game Challenge 5 out of 10
I passed this game the third time I played it. It took about half an hour. The challenge
is more in figuring how you make the guys blow up. Instead of overall damage
they have certain weak spots which take ages to find and explode. Other than that it is
OK for a while but don't buy, rent.
Game Play-Fun 5 out of 10
1st person shoot em up with no real twists or quirks in the game play, just hold down
Y the whole time and you're set. There is nothing except shooting boxes and windows
and people. Freeing hostages is boring and pointless so don't bother.
Frustration
The frustration of dying and going through all that B-S again makes me want to scream.
The music plays on your nerves and the repetition makes you sleepy. YAWN. Don't buy
this game
Replayability 0 out of 10
Once you have passed it (or possibly before so) this game will be history. I have
already gotten rid of it. I had it for a week. Please do not buy this shocking game.
It isn't even worth stealing.
Game Value 0 out of 10
No matter what price you pay this is a rip off. If its not a good game, its not good
value. Save your pennies and buy some thing good instead.
Overall 3 out of 10
Good for about ten minutes if your previous machine was an Atari 2600 and you have
some mental incapabilities (such as inability to throw game in bin) DON'T BUY THIS
GAME EVEN IF YOU LOVE AEROSMITH. I like Aerosmith but this game makes them look dumb!
