It's a barbecue, of sorts...
Okay, so.
Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ: This is another Gel suggestion, one I waited on because, well... Gel has a tendency to support really weird games. But, when I saw it for $10 new, I decided I'd fucked around long enough. And I've just beat Normal mode, so... Yeah. It's a decent little rail shooter. And when is the last time you played a rail shooter... Okay, one you DIDN'T get from XBLA? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Cross pad moves, touching the screen shoots in the direction of your stylus. Pretty simple. You have a few extra moves, though. touching your character makes them crouch, touching a nonadjacent empty panel makes you dodge. The dodge and duck at a little twitchy, but this isn't the most I've ever fought with a control scheme.
As for the gameplay? It's decent. You generally only need to kill minibosses, which this game has NO shortage of. Bosses are large, varied and impressive (the last boss in Normal takes up BOTH screens...). Dying means you need to start the stage over, but each world has three stages, so it's not a disaster.
Playing on Normal means your game ends in Tokyo after beating the boss. The "bad" ending is pretty neat-looking, though. I'm trying to play Hard, where your health does not recover between stages, and it's... All right so far. Suprisingly fair, really. Unlike some games I've played. Looking at you, Capcom...
And yeah. This game? Was made by people on crack. Fighting a giant, zombified Grettel, who is wielding Hansel's severed leg as a club? Only the tip of the iceberg. Red herself is sex on a stick, and... Well...
... How the HELL did this game get a T rating? I swear, sometimes, I think the ESRB's critics are right...
And this is just to kill time because I still need to work Sunday and Monday.
Sigh.
Have a nice day, and enjoy your maids.
