Darkstone for the PsOne will be the first
in a series of budget games
that I will review just for your Gamebrainers to determine if
these $10 are
even worth that much money. Darkstone was developed by Delphine
Software a
small start up and it shows in this title. Darkstone is a PC
port of the same
name.
Let me start by saying....this game is
just plain ugly. the lighting is
terrible, the monsters look like a big wad of snot that came
from some ones
nose, the dungeon layout is terrible, and the character design
makes me wanna
play Batman Beyond( thats not a good idea by the way..). The
graphics of this
game really can't even be passed off as a first gen title for
PSOne let along
a first gen title for the Atari Jaguar. Also don't even get me
started on the awful collision detection.
As for the gameplay side of things, Darkstone
plays like a dumbed down
version of Record of Lodoss War or Diablo. With rather plain
attacks and
spells, the gameplay was rather disappointing as well. But the
gameplay may
as well be the best aspect of this game. On top of the following
sayings,
its pretty given that the Storyline lacks in innovation too.
Darkstone's sound could rival the sound
of a good gameboy game with many
beeps and buzzes. The dialogue plays out about the same way as
a 1970's
Japanese super happy donkey racing karate flick. Ah...i'm gonna
have to end
this review......this game hurts my head just thinking about
it.....I give
DarkStone for the PSOne 1.5 gamebrains outta 10, and may Take
2 interactive
actually try the game next time before releasing it... other
$10
games to look for....Racing, Bowling, Shooter, Speedball(already
reviewed),
and Puzzle Star Sweep.....that is all......now go away....
