Friday the 13th Review
By BErt
Q: What do you get when you take a popular horror movie license, turn it into a video game, and give the programmers nothing but PCP and vodka during its creation?
A: I don't know either, but it has to be a better game that this piece of shit.
I remember watching Friday the 13th movies. My favorite has to be the one where Corey Feldman shaved his head and hacks Jason to death with his own machete. Why couldn’t they have made a game out of that? Instead I get the blue track-suit brigade running around throwing rocks at zombies, and something about children…I don’t know, my head hurt after 15 minutes with this thing.
Fun fact: This game, along with other stupid movie games (Nightmare on Elm Street, Back to the Future, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure) was published by a company called LJN, whose logo was a little rainbow. I guess that’s fitting, since this game is the gayest thing ever.
- GRAPHICS: 1.5 – At camp, everyone wears clothing the exact same color as the walls of the inside of the cabins. And they all look the same too, except for the token black camper.
- SOUND: 1 – Pretty bad, even for an NES game.
- CONTROL: 2 – All you had was "walk" and "throw rock" and they managed to mess it up.
- BCP: 1 – I couldn’t play it long enough to WANT to throw my controller.
- INSOMNIA FACTOR: 1 – Realizing that you actually bought this game may keep you up at night. As for the game itself, you could probably play all you’ll ever need to during a Simpsons commercial break.
OVERALL: 1/5
As bad as this game was, I'm still willing to bet that it's better than Jason X. |
