Nice DR. What is the gameplay like?

Thank you.


It essentially plays just like Lego Star Wars but from an over the shoulder perspective with extremely awkward feeling auto-aim and a really cheesy tribal guitar rock soundtrack.
You collect studs/shinies/whatever they felt like calling them this time to buy new abilities for your various characters/personas whom you add to your loadout by collecting masks of the proper colour which are scattered about throughout the levels.
If you actually manage to run out of hearts/energy (which isn't very likely, at least in the bits I played) you lose the currently selected mask and have to pick it up again.
There are also a number of canisters in each level which serve the same basic purpose as the mini-kits in the Lego Stars Wars games.

It's honestly rather awful and I wouldn't recommend playing it for any reason beyond sheer camp value, but then again I felt the same way about Lego Indiana Jones and I one-hundred-percented that game for it's camp value, so if you're into so bad that they're something vaguely resembling enjoyable games, give it a try.

I would point out that it's only 16:9 that is hor + and vert -. 16:10 is stretched from 16:9.

And here's a superimposition I made:

Widescreen is more hor + than it is vert -.

FYI, the excel rubric is outdated. I wouldn't use it if I were you. I use an Access db now. PM me if you want a copy.

Calculated grade: C+

Coverage: 100%

Lack of 16:10 support is a consequential flaw.
