The Cave
SCORE: 75
The Cave is one of the most unique titles the WMG ever played. This downloadable home console game is all about a cave. Gamers can pick three characters from a choice of seven. Then they go down into the cave and explore. The goal is to get completely through the cave and back up to the gift shop. Along the way gamers find cave paintings for the characters they picked. All seven have unique storylines.
If a gamer wants to see all seven storylines then they must go through the game three times. Some of the areas are the same every time - like the hermit on the island, the zoo, and the miner. Other areas are specifically for each character. The characters in The Cave are the Hillybilly, the Adventurer, the Scientist, the Monk, the Twins, the Knight, and the Time Traveler.
Certain characters in The Cave have abilities that can help the gamer cheat their way through the game. Not that anyone in the Family Friendly Gaming Nation would do that of course. Speaking of humor The Cave is really funny. Well at least the first time you hear his lines. Not so much so the second and third times.
The game play in The Cave revolves all around the puzzles. Sometimes one character can solve it, sometimes two characters are needed, and sometimes all three characters are needed. Gamers will be racking their brains trying to solve them - again the first time.
Why is a game that sounds so good rated Teen? The Cave has a really dark sense of humor. Every single characters story has some dark twist to it. There is also violence and death in every single characters story. Much of it fits into the stereotypes, and easily guessable if the gamer listens to what The Cave has to say. The cave paintings also share the same story.
The worst part
about The Cave is having to replay all those areas multiple times. It
would have been neat to have a mode to play through all of the
characters at once. Maybe by being able to swap in different characters.
