Not as good as Oblivion, though. Fight me.
What happens when you mix the total insanity of David Bowie with the total insanity of David Cage? I have no idea. I still don't know exactly what this is but I still love it. The only thing I have any semblance of sureness about is that I'm pretty sure that David Bowie is actually God.
Why did I rate this game at five stars? Well, it's not because of the storyline, that's actually one of the worst aspects of the game. It's not because of the voice acting, that's probably the second worst aspect of the game, nay, the greatest part of this game is the sheer amount of items that you can collect and equip yourself with. I always found games in the Elder Scrolls series apealing because of the loot collecting factor, and yes, there was quite a bit to collect in those nonlinear advententures. This game, however, allows you to carry how much youy want, for however long you want. I remember a point in the game where I was carrying 100 Sharga swords! I didn't even remember picking them all up. The combat is also top notch. While primitive by modern standards, I find it challenging and refreshing, and I don't understand why the style wasn't utilized in more games. Simply equip the weapon you want to use and click the area of the screen you want to attack the weapon with. You can also throw almost any item in the game at an enemy. I recall in desperation tossing a key at a snake, and killing said snake with the key. There are other throwing weapon alternatives, of course. You can still use the daggers you find at the begginning of the game with great effectiveness whilst throwing them at Throgs. As for the graphics, they are similar to Doom and the earlier Mortal Kombat games in that they have heavy use of live action photos rotoscoped into the game. A more accurate comparison would be that of the graphics for Harvester (a game I wish was on GOG's list). So what are you waiting for? Get the heads of three men long dead for Wahooka already and buy the damn game!
