When a game starts showing up on lists of "worst games of all time",
it's not a good sign. This is a game about vampires in the old west. The game
begins promisingly enough as you stumble across a wagon train that has been savaged
by vampires. As you are a dedicated lone gunslinger fighting for truth, justice and
the American way, you promise to rescue the kidnaped son of one of the wagon train's
occupants. The nearest civilized area is a mining town named Silverload. The town's
citizens are a strange lot, though. They deny all knowledge of a kidnaped child and
make you feel as welcome as an American in Iran. Though the town is small, there
are numerous locations to search and search and search for many areas and inventory
items are impossible to spot. The voice acting is terrible. The inventory system
from hell, so unpopular in The Scroll, has returned with a vengeance. Hot spots are
often near-impossible to find, and attempting to combine two inventory items into
one is an exercise in frustration. |
