Gunman Clive
SCORE: 73
So often in video game reviews we compare
one game to another game from the past. There are times when we compare
a game to a well known franchise. Why? Because it reminds us of that
franchise. Gunman Clive reminds me of Mega Man. Not in the technology
sense, but in the feel of the game.
Gunman Clive has players work their way through levels. There are
checkpoints where Gunman Clive saves the players progress. So you will
not have to complete the entire game in one sitting, or write down a
password. What you will have to do is memorize enemy locations, and the
patterns of the bosses. Those bosses are very clever too.
We don't earn new suits or teleport around. Gunman Clive does let us
enjoy a wild west theme where we are on a quest to save the kidnapped
damsel in distress. Some may not like the stereotype of women needing to
be saved, but it does not bother me; and it gives us a reason to play
Gunman Clive.
The cost of Gunman Clive is insanely cheap - $1.99. Which puts it on par
with many apps on the iOS and Android platform. Check out the game's
website for another link to those platforms. I am amazed at how long
Gunman Clive is. Players are timed on how quickly they beat each level.
I am one of those who took my time and smelled the tumbleweed.
The 3D effects in Gunman Clive are okay. It helps bring the atmosphere
to life. Which can be a freaky thing, but one I did not mind. The
graphical style in Gunman Clive is unique. I think it fits the wild west
theme exceptionally well. We do shoot the enemies and they vanish into a
puff of smoke when they are dead. Unless its a boss and then we endure
some explosions.
I feel very blessed that I was able to play and review Gunman Clive on
the Nintendo 3DS. This hand held game borrows from the past to make a
challenging game with a nice twist in our time. Gunman Clive is not a
game you will blow through - it will challenge even the most hardcore
gamer. Especially Duck Mode.
