Two Crude Dudes
SCORE: 61
I am very thankful I had the money to
purchase the Data East Collection 1 on the Evercade systems. Two Crude
Dudes was on the Genesis back in the day. There are some large character
models in Two Crude Dudes. Since the 16-bit era was not ready for that
the movements can be on the slow side. Expect quite a bit of violence
within Two Crude Dudes. This is one of those beat em up games where we
punch and kick all of the enemies in our path. We also punch and kick
objects that are in our way like walls. I kid you not about that. I
literally had to break walls that were in my way in Two Crude Dudes.
The story within Two Crude Dudes had me laughing. In the year of our
Lord 2010 New York City was hit with a nuclear explosion. The city was
left in ruins. A group called Big Valley came in and conquered New York
City. The US government will pay these two men really well to clear Big
Valley out of the city so restoration can begin. Two Crude Dudes does
not really have any concern about things like radiation. We all know
that would be a part of the problem if New York City was hit with a
nuclear bomb. The time line is also kind of funny. The fact that no one
claimed responsibility for destroying that city is also a little odd.
The controls in Two Crude Dudes can be very clunky. I had issues
breaking some of the walls in this game. The collision detection could
be much better in my personal and professional opinion. I figure it must
be part of the era it came from. I do know of other similar video games
that controlled better. I still suspect the size of the characters in
Two Crude Dudes. We get plenty of really large characters in Two Crude
Dudes. I wonder if there were issues with animation and collision
detection based on the sizes of the characters. I could be completely
off base there. It just seems like a plausible theory.
Expect to experience plenty of cheap hits while playing Two Crude Dudes.
I got very frustrated with this personally. I am not a fan of enemies
off screen being able to hit the player but we cannot hit them back. Two
family members can muddle through Two Crude Dudes together if they so
desire. Your family will need two Evercades or an Evercade VS with two
controllers. Please note we did not test plugging two Evercade hand held
systems together to verify this would actually work. We have been told
it would work.
I enjoyed the music within Two Crude Dudes. It enhanced the destroy
everything in my path ultra aggression game play of Two Crude Dudes. I
found Two Crude Dudes to be a bit on the boring side. How many times can
we bash the same looking guys? After awhile I just wanted to take a nap.
There is a video of Two Crude Dudes in the video section of the Family
Friendly Gaming website. I live streamed this Evercade cartridge on
Twitch. I then separated the content into videos based on the games. Two
Crude Dudes is one of those games. I do not remember Two Crude Dudes
from the 16-bit era.
