Animaniacs - Ten Pin Alley 2 [U] ISO
Description :
Animaniacs Ten Pin Alley is a Bowling game, developed by Saffire and published by ASC Games, which was released in 1998. With a title that has the word "Animaniacs" in it, you'd think "Ah! A game with
a good load of comic mischief! Great!" BUT, then it's followed up with the
phrase "Ten Pin Alley". "Well, it could still have some fun factor in it." Nope.
This game is so bad that not even appearances from Yakko, Wakko and Dot can save
it from the Things That Were Set on Fire Museum.
In the game, you can play as one of 10 characters, all from Animaniacs. Then, you pick your status, ball, and go bowl. That's the gist of it. Oh yeah, and Brain's trying to dominate the world somehow through bowling. What else is new?
Anyway, as you approach the freshly waxed lanes, you prep yourself for what will be a dramatic shot. You tense up, rush forward, and send the ball gracefully down the lane, careening into the pins. Yeah right. You move your character into a preset spot, press X twice, and send the ball on a God-knows-what course towards those pins. The only way you can hit those pins is to either leave those bumpers on or play the game for a year, leaving you babbling like an idiot but able to get a strike with no problem.
Now that it's been ripped apart, let's look at the game from the ratings scale:
GRAPHICS: 4/10 I will admit that the graphics are somewhat well done. The characters do not look like a blocky mess, like that of Poy Poy. However, the sprites for each character have one expression. They look like they've been in a room where a canister of nitrous oxide was accidentally left open. Other than that, the graphics are lackluster. You have this simple lane where you throw a round sprite at ten sort-of-realistic pins, and that's it.
SOUND: 3/10 Well...there's not exactly that much sound to go around. For each character, there's a brief little bit of music that plays as they prepare to send the bowling ball down the lane. The stock sound barrel is used a lot in this game, appealing to those who watch too much Warner Bros. stuff. However, something to do that can amuse you is on both the opening screen and selection screens. Move the cursor around a lot and you can be an impromptu song maker! What with random sound bites coming together to form a twisted medley, you can make a selection that caps off your ballad with "You're crazy, turkey" or even Pinky's trademark laugh! More fun than the game itself!
PLOT: 1/10 Hmmm...Wakko, Yakko and Dot finally got sick of blowing up things and making devices to set off whoopee cushions, so they decided to go bowling. Coincidentally, everyone ended up going out and ending up at the same bowling alley! Yay! Then, you bowl. Michael Crichton writes stories with good plotlines. The makers of this game have not.
GAMEPLAY: 1/10 Now here's the really big beef. As you play the game, you press maybe a maximum of three buttons. Ooh, challenge. Anyway, as you bowl, you have to use some physics and trigonometry to be able to strike those pins resulting in a strike. And this game is designed for Everyone, the RSAC says. How the heck are 6 year olds supposed to hit those damn pins?! Anyway, no matter how good you are at aiming, it's still almost impossible to get through a game without guttering at LEAST once. Finally, no matter what setting the computer is on, they'll always seem to get that perfect spin and strength to send those pins flying while you manage to drop the ball on your foot. Which reminds me, you can get some slightly amusing clips of you hit the foul line.
REPLAY VALUE: 1/10 If you're too cheap to go to a bowling alley, this will suit you just fine. But at bowling alleys, you can actually use skill. Forget this and find your specially made bowling ball and use it for once. Those who actually want to play this game should send away for a New Bedlam entry form. The men in their clean white coats will be there for you in a jiffy.
BUY/RENT: NO. That's all I have to say. No. If you actually go out to buy this game, look at the bottom of the CD. The data is about 1/3 of the entire thing. That's how short it is. Don't blame me if the store clerk falls on the ground after laughing at your choice.
OVERALL: 2/10 Once again, someone thought it would be funny to see cartoon characters in a poorly made game. Well, I don't hear anybody laughing. Get thee to a bowling alley. Mmm...bowling fresh.
