[StarCraft: Mission 1]

That was boring.

Pluses:
+Well-drawn characters;
+It was quite interesting at the beginning;

Minuses:
-Awful and boring backgrounds;
-No ability of decidion;
-Too short;

I love this genre, because playing it is really fun: it usually has different variants of walkthrough and a bit of logical element. This game has nothing to do with this things.
Well, the main character's design impressed me. The protoss too. But the backgrounds were sooo damn annoying.
Why the hell did it have only one way of decidion? Even if I've chosen to do something what is "wrong" the game had to continue but, for example with the character's health lower or so. This is the main thing in the genre.
You should work hard to make a nice game. As it's your first attempt of creating a choose-your-adventure game, I'll put you a 2 (3 is too much, I think). So work, train and try.

[Special Mission]

Perfect action.

Pluses:
+What can I say? The whole game is a plus;

Minuses:
+Translate it to english, damn it!

Dude, that was totally AWESOME. don't even know, how to coment it, because nothing can be changed to make the game better. It's just perfect.

P.S.: There isn't much people who know your language, man!

[Sift Heads]

A clone of you-know-what?

Pluses:
+Nice backgrounds;
+Menu design;
+Differency of objectives;
+Movies;

Minuses:
-Sometimes the sounds are mixing up;
-Unballanced gameplay.

What should I begin from? The first thing I've admired was the menu design. Really nice work, loved it. Respect. Next thing - the movies. Really nice idea, but comparing to the lenght of the missions looks too long. Animation kicks ass, keep goin'. But there were some unsmooth moments, though.

Now, the gameplay itself. The backgrounds are drown very attentively, you were paying attention to every single object, even the small ones. This tels us about the quality of your work. All the people on the level can be shot, that's very good. But no secondary objects can be harmed Why? I'm not counting the cas glass which just HAD to be shootable. Pay attention next time.

The objectives are quite different. In other games I usually use to fall asleep because of the missions with the same objectives. This one did great: shooting guys in darkness while they're trying to kill someone who must survive, defend yourself from mafia in the car chase etc. This rocks.

But there were some such ugly moments like when you have to wait for the enemy to show himself. Some of them must do it more often, you know.

And the last thing: the sound. Yeah, it were high-quality effects and so, but sometimes they used to mix up. To avoid this kind of bug try to make some sound far more quiet than the others. I know, this experiments will take time, but so do good games.

Overall, nice job. But next time try to make up your own idea.

[Snowman Attack]

Not bad.

Pluses:
+Humor;

Minuses:
-Bad interface;
-Boring shopping system.

Well, in fact it looks like a simple defence game, but it has a lot of minuses. First of all the levels are too short at the beginning. The shop has only a few things I really wanted to purchase. Besides, the upgrade system doesn't work or it's just done badly. You have a lot of things to change to create a good defence game. It takes time. Good luck!

[Corpses of the III Reich]

You ruined a great conception with a realisation.

Pluses:
+Sometiomes the game looks really creepy;
+AWESOME graphics;
Minuses:
-Some moments look awful;
-Style was corrupted by many things which didn't fit the atmosphere;
-Low quality sound.

Well, when I was about to check the game out I was sure I'm about to view something reaaly scary. But I was mistaken.

All right, you wanted to create an atmosphere of dungeon filled with zombies, tortured bodies and other creepy stuff. But WHY have you put a WOMAN with a giant breasts and a nice butt as a main hero? It ruins the whole effect!

What were you thinking of when you inserted the sounds in the game? All right, the music is really scary. But how about, for example, the sound of shooting pistol? I don't know how you were recording it, but It's not a suitable sound.

The faces. Oh my god, when I saw it for the first time I was really scared. But when it began to appear 10 times per minute it began pissing me off! And anyway, the effect doesen't suit this genre at all. If you love it so much you can put it into an FPS game, but NOT an arcade!

And the graphics. Right, they've impressed me. You did a great job. Respect. The animation, the zombie design- awesome. But you see that I've put it a 9 instead of 10. Whant to know why? Because of the animation of the main heroine. Have you modelled her by yourself or you've took her from some porn game? When she supposed to crawl she was standing almost on all fours, I even thought that someone will come and, excuse me, fuck her. No, really. And when she was jumping she was performing a salto. Why? Even a super- agents can't do this, it looks stupid.

You have spoiled even the engine. I wasn't enjoying controlling the girl, the controls are just weird. She standed on the place after each jump for a second! I know, it's not a lot of time, but what if the zombie is near? By the way, add an animation when the corpses attack you, 'cause when they did it I couldn't even mention it at first.

Well, all I can say, there's a lot of things for you to make to create a really good game. You need to practice. Good luck.

[3D Frogger]

AWESOME!!!

Pluses:
+VERY addictive game;
+Only positive feelings left. Thank God there's no violence.
+3D graphics look great;

Minuses:
-New levels contain only a few new features.

Awesome. No comments. I don't even know what to say. The conception's pretty simple, but it's realisation is just amazing. Very nice work. I don't even know why it has such a low score. I'll ask some of my NG friends to vote high ^_^. And thanks for the great mood you made for me :)!

[Target Earth: Mission 1]

Not bad.

Pluses:
+Nice graphic style;
+Different enemies and weapons;

Minuses:
-Boring gameplay.

Quite interesting game, but it gets boring in a few minutes after playing. Nice music and sound effects did great. It's very good that you made different kinds of enemies! Most of the authors are too lazy to do that :D. Anyway, quite good work.

[Fear Unlimited Full Edit]

THE BEST ACTION GAME ON NG!!!

Pluses:
+Awesome graphics;
+THOUSANDS of possibilities;
+Style;
+A lot of combos and hits;
+Serious atmosphere;

Minuses:
-Annoying soundtrack.

GREAT! I've never seen anything like this one! I'd like to say that this game is IDEAl except the soundtrack. AWESOME!

[Crime City 3D - No Mercy]

One of the best click-and-shoots on NG!

Pluses:
+EVERYTHING in the game is done in 3D;
+Fantastic soundtrack!;
+Awesome gameplay;
+Really serious atmosphere;

Minuses:
-Everything's great, but the game must be more fast and dynamic.

Probably the best click-and-shoots on NG as I've said before. And it's not stolen, you fools! Few bugs were fixed in the second edition, thanks, man! 3D graphics own. Were they done in Swift or Max? Amazing work, it probably took you a long time to make (look at the bad guys- they're 3D too!). Man, the soundtrack fitted the serious atmosphere SO MUCH! Please, upload it to the audio portal, I want to hear it in some other games.

P.S.: Just can't understand the people who hated it. Guys, if you just can't win, the reason is in you, not in the author, right?

[StickMan Sam - Part 3]

Not bad.

Pluses:
+Hundreds of new things added;
+Finally we can fight with real people;
+A lot of new possibilities;

Minuses:
-The game's still monotinic and boring.

Finally the "Stickman Sam" series became a trilogy. This time the gameplay was turned upside down! Now we can grab ledges, use doors and even open safes! The storyline throws Sam to some bad-guys'-place, where you must infiltrate the whole building! Yeah, right, no more zombies or flying balls stuff. But still even changed controls, type of enemies etc. couldn't change the gameplay. I'ts still boring. Maybe, the graphics style must be changed. The backgrounds must become colorful, for example. Still, the game's pretty addictive (for the first time) and cool. Waiting for new- styled "Stickman Sam 2".
