Wii-markable

I really. really enjoyed this one. The drawings and animation are simple and clean, the woman's jabbering about the Wii commercial was funny (partly because it was so quick), and the employee's rage was priceless...

I must say, I certainly hope you don't actually say this to anyone asking if there are Wii's in stock.

Overall, as far as I am aware this flash movie is without fault. Well done.

Okay, um, things to say...

Well, the drawing is hardly a work of art. Lip-sync doesn't exist. And you actually have to click a button to continue.

So, bad flash? Well, no. GREAT flash.

The voice acting is perfect, partly because it's done in such a funny way. The whole thing is just hilarious, quite possibly one of the funniest flashes on all of NG, and that's saying something.

My favourite parts include the second flash by "Jimmy B" (his high-pitched voice in shout-mode cracked me up!) and the devil saying he'll make the guy watch the best movies, followed by the guy's "NOOOOO!!"... so funny...

In short, I just love this flash movie. **faved**

that was it?

Okay, there's an interesting song - doesn't really count as your work, does it? In fact, all you have done is make a head move from side to side, and halfway through put a frame saying the disc is dirty. Something that can be done in five minutes.

Expect death threats from anyone with dial-up. If they wait for a huge 8.3 MB file to load and all they end up with is this, they're going to be pretty angry. There isn't even a loading screen, so the music would just stop and start.

In conclusion, a very poor effort, with only the little frame in the middle saving this from the score of zero.

Quite fun, but ridiculously tough

This game is quite fun to play, but in terms of difficulty makes even "The World's Hardest Game" seem like a walk in the park. The ball moves so fast and the controls are so sensitive, my reactions aren't nearly fast enough to finish each level without dying at least ten times. That combined with the fact that I get frustrated easily, makes the overall game experience more stressful than enjoyable.

I eventually gave up on level 39 after dying about 100 times. :-(

looks good, but doesn't feel quite as good to play

Recently, I have been waiting for an excellent flash racing game. However, I am sad to say that the wait continues.

The best part of this game is the graphics, which are probably the best of any flash racer I've seen so far. The feel of the game, however, is the main thing that stops this being great. It's not bad, but the handling is too twitchy, the AI too basic, and a lack of features all add up to stop me from really enjoying this game.

Don't take this too badly; it's VERY hard to make a good racing game, particularly in Flash. I still think that this game is enjoyable to some extent, so I'll give you credit for that.

Best NG game of 2008

I will admit, I've never been a big fan of this type of game, but this game had me hooked until I beat it (BWAHAHAHA).

The game may take ages to load (17.9 MB?? OMG), but it is more than worth the wait. The game feels so professionally done, it feels just like the kind of game you would buy (AND enjoy). The graphics are perfect, the voices convincing, and the gameplay gripping until you destroy the Earth (or are brought to justice). About the only thing missing is replay value.

In all, probably the best game on Newgrounds this year. Just - brilliant. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to make plans for what to do now I've destroyed the Earth...
