Ok, this game was not one of my favorites. It's a good game, but just not as good as I'd hoped it to be. There are scattered messages throughout the game that give the game more meaning, and when you see these messages, you know you are on the right track. This game lacks meaning, but that doesn't mean you can give it some...


At a first look and play, this game is boring. I'm not gonna sugar coat this, for this is the BHR. I literally did not kill any enemies, and I beat this game. It was a long 9 minute maze (If you can call it that) that had barely any appeal. I kinda gave up on the game and only wanted to beat if for the sake of beating it, not for the gameplay.


But on a second look...


This game seemed to have a lot of excess enemies and paths, and I was wondering if this was just for the sake of having them there, or there was a meaning. I don't know Omega, but I had some ideas with what to do with your game. I tried to defeat all the enemies, and that took plenty longer and was at least more entertaining than the original version.


The map for this game was excellent, I can't say anything bad about it. Song lyrics scattered throughout the map is kinda like an inside message or something to some people who know the songs which the lyrics portray. No complaints there. But it seems like the game was built around the lyrics and map, and not the fighting or action or puzzles.


There are some parts that I though had potential, but fell short of what it could possible be. Mostly, this game felt empty; like all of its space was not entirely utilized. I really just had more reasons to "like" it than to "Really like" or to "Be Extremely fond of" this game. What it did well, it did really well. But there was just more that lacked impact.


I can't say too much good came from this game in my opinion. Someone else can say so here, but in my opinion, it didn't have much to truly offer. No hard feelings Omega, but I just really didn't like this game too much.
