15) Depth Charge Depth Charge is about a boat sailing atop some water. Your duty is either to eliminate the various deadly ships/sharks that you pass or to simply survive this gauntlet. One hit and you die, you get five lives. You've read that boring above paragraph. This is roughly how interesting it is to play the game. The gameplay is about as deep as water appears in the image to the right. Something like this might be suitable for a wristwatch, when we used to play games on them, but c'mon Active, you can do better than this, although it's probably best that you don't try to do so. Granted, there's little in the history of the company to lead me to believe this, and very much in their history to the contrary... You know, last time I was at a grocery store, I saw a big, fat, sweaty, heavy-breathing, bald dude in his mid-40s bagging groceries. He didn't appear graceful enough to compete in the Special Olympics and had ostensibly matching speech skills. He was tunelessly and loudly freestyling rap lyrics (the same five bars repeatedly, as in the games we're discussing) about the Cheetahmen to the song heard in the Cheetahmen games, a phenomenon so surreal you'd have to be there to see it. I came to the conclusion he was the creator; to prove this he also looked to have the criminal record to back it up. He was mightily struggling in his bagging duties; one customer cursed him out for smashing her bread, another complained to the manager about his drooling, and a fellow bagger was screaming about "the stank" and pointing at him. And this was just in those few minutes I was in line. So clearly, whoever responsible for this collection (and the previous Action 52) should stick to what they do best. I'm afraid it might be making compilations of 52 worthless games - at least there's no risk of placing watermelons atop eggs here. |
