CID The Dummy
|
Player's Review
Plot: 'The game features a story about two scientists who were once colleagues and are now bitter rivals. After an experiment gone wrong, D. Troit, the game's villain, creates an army of sentient robots and kidnaps the daughter of B. M. Werken. Werken retaliates by creating a crash impact dummy, the hero and the game's playable character, to defeat D. Troit and his armies and save Werken's daughter. Werken is assisted by a small flying robot named Copcam.'
A random shovelware platformer that also spawned ports for PS2 and PSP. What can I say about it? Well, that it's regular to mediocre in pretty much every aspect, especially CID's annoying voiceovers during gameplay. You only have three secondary weapons aside from the typical melee attacks and a special move that is really hard to pull off, at least in this version, which wipes the nearby area from enemies at the cost of 10 orbs. The gameplay itself is not any different from other games of its genre, but everything else can be classified as trash. Since when it was a good idea to use 'unreadable' colors for such a font in some of the subtitles during cutscenes? That's just wrong.
Not to mention it was a complete chore to find all the few secrets in this game, which are basically small areas with refill stuff, due to the poor documentation at the time of recording this. You unlock artwork by just completing a level in story mode, and yes, these pieces of artwork are the only unlockable content here. Overall a game you should stay away from, unless you are crazy enough to suffer and also laugh while trying to go through this thing.
