Tempest 4000
SCORE: 60
I don’t know what I expected from Tempest
4000. I thought it would be a modern video game based on the retro
Tempest franchise. I thought there would be some cool amazing graphics
and things to do. Atari was already off to a bad start by failing us
completely. How difficult is it to reply to emails? Obviously the
millions of readers in Family Friendly Gaming Universe are not enough
for them to want to make sales. No wonder Atari has gone bankrupt so
many times in the past.
We move around these objects in Tempest 4000 and shoot things that come
up at us. This might be interesting and this might be fun if the
controls were a bit better. The lag in the controls make playing this
game a miserable experience. I tried over and over again and died on
certain objects in Tempest 4000. The 1.7 gig installation made me feel
like I wasted my disc space on this game. Yes we have a physical copy.
You would know that if you were watching our FFG Haul videos. Go here
for more information.
The retro font and the visual special effects are really cool in Tempest
4000. The techno music will keep you awake and energized. There are two
modes to play Tempest 4000 in. They are Pure and Survival. There are
supposed to be one hundred levels in Tempest 4000. I was only able to
get to ten of them because of the controls and difficulty. There are
levels that are fun.
The best level in Tempest 4000 in my opinion is the flat one line. That
level worked better than the others. I am not sure why some of the
others were so difficult. There are power ups and smart bombs in Tempest
4000. Be aware those smart bombs are limited. I needed them more times
than I had them. Those things got to the top really quickly and I could
not get them all.
Tempest 4000 does not feel very different from past Tempest games in my
opinion. I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy so I
could review Tempest 4000. I value this game at five dollars brand new.
Anything more than that will be a waste of money. Tempest 4000 feels
small, looks small, and is a weekend rental at best for most families.
