Athena - Awakening from the Ordinary Life (Japan) ISO
Description :
I'm sure of that some of you players are hearty fans of Adventure games.
And more, some of you have ever been fascinated by the scariest
Resident Evil, Silent Hill series or the marvellous creation of Parasite
Eve or Metal Gear Solid series. So I introduce I'm one of those people
and Athena - Awakening from the ordinary life is an is an adventure game
I played. But I had to confirm it might be a shame of Adventure game.
Or at least, it can't be called an adventure game as its category. It
really makes me despair.
Gameplay 5/10
Also an
unchangeable skeleton - Enigma's clone. You play it, you finish it and
then play it again and...nothing more. What do you do in this game ?
Talk to people and then arrange your mind to keep you alive. If not, you
will die ?!! What a stupid unreal story ! Yeah, I know that most of
games have a great deal of unreal episodes to make them more exciting.
But this is not what this game has behind those unreal things. Just a
little mistake in your mind can kill you. Can you believe ? And can this
unreal part be accepted in a game of modern era like Athena - Awakening
from the ordinary life ?
Then what do you do next ? Okay, you
find yourself surrounded by the evil clown, the soldiers and researchers
who want to kill a little schoolgirl just for her special power. Can
you believe even your teacher (or the principal) is involved in this
stupid mass ? You must defend from others when you are really innocent
and do nothing on them. What do you do to keep yourself alive ? Just
open your mind and then arrange it in well order. That's all. Huh, is
this really one of the challenges that an adventure should have ?
The third, do you see that half you game is occupied by long FMVs ? Game
and playing parts are not much. But there are tons of useless FMV
scenes that you can do nothing on them.
Storyline 2/10
Is this national law the creator established in this game : killing a
girl because she is so special without thinking of other ways and
they're willing to do that without any mercy. Then those idiot
researchers and soldiers plan to make a special machine in a little
child named Masato. But after that, they kill one another just for own
benefits. A great deal of forces are lead to... punish Athena only. Do
they have any conscience ? And what benefit do they really have after
killing the girl ?
There are many illogical things I want to show. But if I continue...poor this game !
Characters 4/10
Game's quality is bad. Characters' quality is bad too. First, their
movements look like the robots who are acting like human being. Second,
they are all another image of Sailor Moon's characters or some other
popular Japanese films and movies who are less sharp and beautiful than
the old films which had no modern technique and 3D graphic. Sorry, but
this is a game, not film. Even sometimes a game can't be long as a film,
but the quality of characters and everything are in the same high
importance. You don't see that huh, creator ? Athena, you can't give me
an impression, can you ?
Hm...I forget to mention the background
characters. Do you see what they look like ? Statues right ? The statues
who have no lives and emotions, stand quietly as they are designed.
When talking, they almost don't move any little, even the lively
movement of hands to describe what they are talking.
Graphic 4/10
The colors are poor. The background scenes just mainly have only one
colors, the others depend on the brightness of each area or sunshine or
lights. Is that all for a game with high-quality graphic ? At the time
when Athena - Awakening from the ordinary life was released, games are
being developed a lot with great and beautiful scenes and graphic. Maybe
this game was not one of them. Except the FMVs, you are just an
ordinary game with ''old'' graphic.
Sounds and Music 3/10
The sounds are fairly alright. No idea.
The music is not very good. The melody can't be lively enough to open
the real atmosphere of the situations. In Disc 2, when everyone is
caught in the dinosaur incident, the music has no sense of worrying or
planning to escape. It might look like a little melody for kids.
Length 1/10
I never want to give a ''1'' mark to any games, even the worst like
Deception III. But now this game has passed out of my limit. A game
which is just played for 2 hours and a half was divided into three
discs, including conversations. What do you think : waste of money, low
quality ?
Battle System 3/10
You look like a crazy.
Open your mind and then put your legs on your head to run like hell.
There's no point of a battle or rising, just a little ''quarrel''
between Athena and the soldiers with the boss. Most of the enemies are
passive that this game becomes a game for small kids, not look like its
preview as we imagine.
Replayability 2/10
This is one
of the most important part in a review. Please don't. Athena - you are
worse than Miss Reina in Deception III about this point although she
might be lower than you in some other sides. Deception III and Enigma
anyway are better than this game in some respect because you can play
them longer. But ''Athena - Awakening from the ordinary life'', it can't
be.
