Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
...and another:
Introduction
Wow. This game sucks. It really does. Maybe if you are the developer and you know exactly what to do, well then MAYBE it could be fun. It does look as it is a long game to play, since you will spend 2-3 hours trying to figure out how the damn crap works. Man this is a really disappointing game. I don't even know what to write, so don't complain if this is a really crappy review, but its for a crappy game. Sigh, if this was only a once in a lifetime release but we see more of these. Oh well, at least if you read this you won't spend $50 on it. And if you really want it wait until its in the bargain bins for $2.
Graphics (1/10)
The graphics for Dominions suck, with muddy little characters that look like pixels slopped together, and even the loading screen is a horribly rendered spinning cube. I have it on screenshot, I would like to you take a look at the shadow. Well, you might be asking why I am flaming the loading screen, its because everything else is just menus, menus, menus, menus! And when you actually get to the gameplay, then it sucks. All you see is red blips moving and it takes hours to complete. I'm sorry, but this game is just horrible. I didn't know what the hell to do, so I left it running, went to the TV and waited for something to happen. Is this the way a game should be?
Audio (0/10)
What audio? The only sound I found was the sound your mouse makes when clicking on a menu. That's it. No speech, no music, no FX when in battles. No fanfare when you win a battle! This is appaling.
Gameplay (1/10)
The gameplay just shows that this game is one of the most confusing released for a very long time. I don't know what to do, didn't know what to do, and probably never will know what to do. All it shows is browsing through menus, menu after menu after menu after menu. The only cool part was the ability to play over email, as this is a rare feature in games. But even that will suck when the game you try and play is horrible. You get to make your own god, then try to become a Pretender. you make an army, which I found was just clicking through some more menus. I had to get through some menus to finally get to the quit button.
Concluding Thoughts (1/20)
This is a bad game. Maybe it could have been better, but now it is too late for maybes. Confusing and boring gameplay will fend off all of the RPG enthusiasts, and the bad graphics and sound just isn't good enough these days. The only plus side is the email gameplay system and the fact that you can create your own gods. Other than that this game is pretty much worth a demo download, but other than that just get a different RPG that will be much more fun. Lets get the TGTB over with quickly.
Total Score 3/50
