Strong Bad's Cool Games For attractive People Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective Review

 Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective

by G33k DNA

 

                “Looks like we’re gonna have to jump!” You guessed it Dangeresque and his partners, Renaldo and Dangeresque 2? are saving the world again, only this time it’s interactive. This game is hilarious for any strongbad fans. He provides a hilarious joke almost every time he talks, and each character has a comical response for his remarks.

 This low-budget game of a low budget film is also making fun of every crappy movie out there, making it very er... “Dramatic”. You can tell this “movie” was home-made with the shaky camera and the dialogue showing the actors instead of the characters sometimes. It’s like a home-made movie with extra bloopers inside.


                Now moving on to the game-play. This is a point and click kind of game. Basically you can interact with most anything you can click on, making it hilarious but it doesn’t always make it too clear on what you need to do with the objects. On the upside if you are struggling for too long Strongbad or maybe some of the others will give you a hint hopefully sending you in the right direction.

 The gameplay does eventually get slightly repetitive. While I suppose you need many objectives in a game, it was definitely lacking in uniqueness when it came to having fun with it. Don’t get me wrong there are definitely some uh… unique parts to it. But sometimes it was just boring.


                The environment and graphics were everything one would expect them to be, with the old-school detective feel, and the home-made movie feeling. The graphics were the same as the website. All done in flash and not incredibly detailed but that’s what one would expect from a homestar runner game, especially at its price.

                Overall I would say this game is average. It’s not great but not terrible either. It is definitely worth its low price and is a great addition to the Wii arcade. There’s plenty of extras and game-play to keep you busy for several hours.

 

Presentation – 8.5

It’s simple point and click and knows what it’s doing

Graphics – 8.5

They were low-budget and kind of lame some of the time

Sound – 9.0

The background detective music and the voices were hilarious

Gameplay - 7.5

It’s a point and click with not very much excitement or challenge

Replay value – 7.0

You might go back for all the extra’s but probably won’t really want play a lot

Final word – 8.0

It’s a hilarious game and will entertain you for a while, so if you strongbad give it a try

Breaking News ****Fallout 3****

Bethesda Softworks Announces Creation Kit and

First Downloadable Content for Fallout 3

 

Editor to be Available in December;

Downloadable Content coming for January, February, and March

 

November 25, 2008 (ROCKVILLE, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced plans to make both its editor and downloadable content available for its award-winning game, Fallout® 3 in the coming weeks. The official editor for Fallout 3, called the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), will be available for free download in December and will allow Games for Windows® users to create and add their own content to the game. In addition, the first official downloadable content, Operation: Anchorage, will be available exclusively for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows® in January, and more downloadable content coming in February and March.

 

“We’ve always seen the original world of Fallout 3 as a foundation for even more content. Some created by us, and a lot more created by users,” said Todd Howard, game director for Fallout 3. “It’s fun to create your own character, but it can be equally fun to create your own adventures. We can’t wait to see what the community does with the G.E.C.K.”

 

The release of the G.E.C.K. provides the community with tools that will allow players to expand the game any way they wish. Users can create, modify, and edit any data for use with Fallout 3, from building landscapes, towns, and locations to writing dialogue, creating characters, weapons, creatures, and more.

 

Three downloadable content packs will be coming to Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live starting in January that will add new quests, items, and content to Fallout 3.

  • Operation: Anchorage. Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.
  • The Pitt. Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your side. Scheduled for release in February.
  • Broken Steel. Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.

Released on October 28 in North America and in Europe October 30, Fallout 3 has been hailed as one of the most anticipated games of 2008, and received a 10 out of 10 review score from Official Xbox Magazine, a result then repeated around the world with perfect scores by some of the industry’s most influential and respected critics including: Gamespy, GamePro, UGO, the Associated Press, MSN, The Washington Post, Guardian, FHM, G4-TV, The Toronto Star, and Eurogamer.  MSNBC’s review offered the observation that it viewed “Fallout as a no-brainer for game of the year.” The Daily Star in the UK echoed that conclusion, saying “You can hold all bets on game of the year – I think we have a winner.”

 

Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Set more than 200 years following a nuclear war, you can create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of Washington, D.C. however you choose. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland.

 

Fallout® 3 has been rated Mature by the ESRB.  For more information on Fallout 3, visit http://fallout.bethsoft.com and www.prepareforthefuture.com.
