/vr/ - Retro Games

So shitty, so tedious, so boring. Probably the worst PS1 game I have ever played, and I still own a copy. I loved E.T. as a kid for some reason, so when this came out in 2002(!) I was pretty hyped up. Bought it as soon as possible.

The gameplay is basically just "float this object on top of a button, and the door opens/ramp lowers/something happens". Everything is about buttons, switches, and springs, and you can never place the floating object where you want it. Your attack is some weird red sonar wave that you spam at enemies constantly to no avail. No music. Endless loading times. Ugly animations. Everything feels like a tile-based boardgame even though it isn't. Enemies are overpowered, and waaaay too fast compared to you.

It could've been a cool story-based game, but all we get is a laggy intro cutscene of a spaceship landing. I would play the 2600 game over this any day, because at least that one has a certain retro charm. The PS1 game is just shit.
