Reviews for Pamela the Zombie Hunter (#18775)

Review by Emlyn_Hughes on 10 Feb 2009 (Rating: 2)

It's really a pity that some promising colourful graphics and the atmosphere that strongly reminds of the Buffy Vampire Slayer series go to waste due to a total lack of playability.

GOOD THINGS
* Color graphics with no trace of color clash.
* Some digital effect sounds.
* Attractive atmosphere
BAD THINGS
* Very bad scroll
* Faulty projectiles

If you just see the screenshots you can be deceived that this game can be ok. It would be if it hadn't that awful scroll, where the only things that actually moves is the background. The character stands in the center and the enemies are unaffected by your right/left walking. You could think, well, at least I can smash them with my energy blast. Sadly, it has a tiny range or collision detection fails. The sure thing is that you will be double flanked and therefore dead in no time.

SUMMARY
Graphics/animation: 4/5 Looks good
Sound: 3/5 48k music intro but nothing special. The digital sound add 1+ but I'm not sure if the effects worth the game halt.
Playability: 1/5 I'm still wondering if 0/5 would be too harsh or not.
TOTAL: 2/5 A great game until you try to play it

I'm guessing this is loosely based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It looks like a nice game for sure with its colourful graphics, however the gameplay completely fails on all fronts. No matter what you do you will always be caught and your death is inevitable. The fireball is a bit crap but then hitting them from close range rarely works as well. If this gameplay was more polished this might have been a quality game, but as it is it’s pretty much unplayable.
