![]() The aiming reticule has a tendency to auto lock onto the closest enemy. Shooting at enemies tends to flip between rather decent at times to just horrible for a few reasons. This wouldn’t be that much of a problem if the game didn’t try to put some awful precision plat-forming segments in most levels with the fact that Mike isn’t a very good jumper. ![]() ![]() The movement controls are kind of janky, and there’s no ability to walk or slow down, so just lightly nudging the analog stick forward sends Mike into a full run in whichever direction you chose. Leaving you confused seems to be a running theme with this game or something because I never knew what I was doing or why I was doing it. Since my super duper research yielded no results, I’m going to refer to the main character as “Morphin’ Mike” from now on.Īfter a short while, Mike gets rescued by his fellow Russian comrades and almost immediately after that is attacked by his fellow Russian comrades because they think he’s an “infiltrator.” The game uses this word a couple of times but it doesn’t really tell you just what an infiltrator is. I’ve played through the game and even checked the instruction manual to see if this guy has any sort of identity. Unfortunately, I’ll never be able to know what exactly our hero was trying to do, because he wakes up in a cave with no memory as to who he is or what he was doing in the cave in the first place. Apparently the aliens were able to wipe out most of the countries in a single day, but for some reason, just kind of dicked around for about five years in Moscow or something until our “hero” decided to do something. From what I was able to gather, the game is set in a grim future where an alien species has invaded and destroyed most of the earth. Right of the bat we’re treated by yet another tough, grizzled, and gravelly voiced main character narrating the prologue of the game. It wasn’t until much later that I realized that I should have just left with Odin Sphere. I purchased both games without hesitation and went home later that evening sort of excited to play a game and not knowing what to expect. Guess who’s afraid of heights?Īfter I returned home, I went to my local game shop and found two things that caught my eye: A fresh copy of Odin Sphere for a mere five dollars, and MorphX, a game that I completely have not heard of going for the pretty reasonable price of $30. Not so fun when you’re afraid of heights. While everyone was at the NYCC the last week and playing new games and seeing all sorts of cool things, I was stuck over in Europe and went to the Edelweiss Mountains and did all sorts of hiking.
