j00bie's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flex-O Stick]

Que?

I'm pretty certain I've seen the exact same thing before, only with less options, and better...
This isn't bad, but it gets very boring quickly.
I'd write more, but it's near impossible to write anymore on a flash that's about the size of a thumbnail.

[Squarez]

Not great.

I can see how this could be addictive, because Im addicted, sort of... THOUGH, I just didn't like it that much. It's fun, but i've seen better games on NG.
It's still good for a quick game or two, it just isnt that great when the top 50 is flooded with buckets of fun by todays standards!
Still passable, just barely in todays terms.

[Mecha Dyne Database]

Starts alright, declines as goes.

The music and graphics were good at the start of the movie, it was a good opening impression, but as previous reviewers have said, it gets rather pointless and dull very quickly, and gets even worse near the end, I was glad when it ended.
The sound was very good early on, but the quality turned into crap nearing the end.
The text should have been larger as well, youre not helping the visually impaired with a text size like that!

[first person-shooter 1]

Needs work

This is looking good so far, but.. that's just SO FAR.
There's many similar games nowadays, it's lower-tier in comparison.
It's a good start, you just need to improve this by adding more levels, enemies, weapons, and have the targets shoot back at you with a life meter and other such misc. fun stuff! You know, just things like that, work from it!

[Five Finger Pellet]

Good for laugh!

This is reall cool stuff! Just don't stab yourself, hah! Get the vein bonus, and definately listen to the Prodigy shite!. Great stuff!
This is a VERY great quickie game to pass the time, it's good fun, along with some nicely drawn graphics/animation, with some overall good effects. Underrated in my opinion.

[Pinball King]

Decent Pinball.

This is a decent enough pinball game, and the table has realistic physics and plays like the original.
The table could have used a few more features to make the game better.
The ball ran too slowly, and the graphics were fuzzy in certain places, especially near the flippers and bumpers.
Meh, it's a good game anyways.

[Let It Out]

Average soundboard.

A rather 'sweary' soundboard, with only twelve words to choose from.
Not that great... not that much of a soundboard fan.
I gave you a 5, due to the Origin of this flash... not passable by todays standards, that's for sure.

[The Final Shot]

Unoriginal, and Buggy.

This is very similar to many other games on Newgrounds, except this one has a lot of bugs in it.
I got to about the third screen, and I just couldn't shoot the enemy.
At least there's some decent sounds in here, and the enemies shoot back.

BUT, all and all, it could be better.

[Drive And Kill Beta 1.0]

Alright.

It's a decent 'quickie'.
It's definately fun to play, but unoriginal at it's maximum. It's not as bad as snake though... heh...
It's alright in most aspects, except for the steering, it's the wrong way around while reversing.
Intentional or not, I didnt like it like that.
It's not a bad start, but could be better if more effort was put into it..

MarkOfTheBeast responds:

Thanks for the review, and I understand that the game is pretty glitchy. I also know it's unoriginal, but this was my first attempt at understanding actionscript, and taking apart other games I had made to make this one. I put a lot of different games into this, whether it shows or not.
I also submitted this movie in 02/08/2003 , which makes it almost 2 years old. Thanks for the review, and I'll take your advice.

[The Soccer Game]

Confusing

It would have helped a lot if you had explained exactly how to play... an instruction page maybe...
I spent the first couple of minutes clicking around, wondering what was going on.
Previous reviewers seem to be upset about it as well.
It's a good piece of programming but it's not very fun to play... seeing as the controls are very poorly designed.
