Story: You are a slave named Monkey, and you start off in this game a captive prisoner aboard a crashing air ship. After making your way off the ship without crashing, sorta, you wake with a head band that this girl put on you. The head band makes you do what she wants you to do other wise you'll die. Basically she's forcefully requesting your assistance. So of course you agree to help protect her as she travels home. You fight an army of robots between where you are and where you get to.
Review: I like this game, the story is a little out there, but even with my A.D.D I can get into it. It feels like an open world search and find collectable type game but really its extremely linear. You have to get from point A to point B and there isnt much in the way of search. The few puzzles are extremely easy, and the hidden "masks" you find throughout the game wouldn't be easier to find if they had a glowing red arrow pointing to them. I enjoy the world, and the cartoony styllized graphics are fresh and unique. Monkey has some really epic combo moves against enemies and the girl isn't too annoying. The enemies are challenging to a point, esp when they call for reinforcements!
Likes: The story, and graphics the hover board
Dislikes: If you are going to have an open world game, let me climb on everything, not just what you want me to climb on, and give me full control over my jump capabilities FFS!
Guess I can agree with the 4 rating. This game certainly wasn't given enough credit. Although it is a touch linear, I find that the gameplay diverts me away from that fact. I enjoy the climbing and the fighting is fresh.
ReplyDeleteI do however, find that the girl is terribly annoying. Love it how she just wanders away...or always sends you to do all the dirty work while she's always cowering behind cover.
Oh man....wait till I get this headband off of me...is what I would say if I were Monkey.
