Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Axion RPG 2 (BETA)]

Should please fans

I am not really an RPG fan, but this definitley had enough potential to entertain me for awhile. The design is pretty simple and probably could have used some more detail. As this is a beta version, it is understandable a lot of things would look rough. I would suggest putting some more detail into the houses and the ground so the background things are not repetitive. I keep thinking from the beginning it's going to be a hentai intro. It was cool to be able to go down the pipe and continue on down from there.

[NG Portal Radio v2 01]

Now and forever!

I was not that big of a fun of the audio portal at first, but then I came to realize that it was an important part of the work by people here on Newgrounds. What makes this so wonderful is that you can simply do nothing but click "random audio" all day. You guys worked together to make a great tribute for all those submitters out there. There is something for everyone here so you can never get bored. All the backgrounds and the way it is organized is very nice and professional-looking too. This is a great way for people to understand the audio portal even if they are not a fan, much less reviewer of it.

MCarsten responds:

Yeah, you got it. Thanks for the nice review and for the kind words. :)

Graphics were decent

It would probably be too cliched to say that I did not enjoy this game because I was not good at it, but it is true. It was difficult to know exactly how to stop when you were going down. It was also kind of a pain to not be able to jump while moving forward. Still, it was typical of a platformer, it just could have used some more tweaking to make it enjoyable. The best part is probably how the premise is simple and the graphics are alright. At least the keys were fairly easy to comprehend.

The style was good

It is a pity this was rejected for medals, because this would have ranked up with OCD+ as a truly frustrating game. I think this managed to be even more difficult, but it was a good idea to release this on 111110. I heard that on this day the robots were going to invade us, but it turned out there was just going to be a game about it. The graphics are nice enough, not that you are really caring about that while playing this. At least you were nice enough to give us a (0-point) medal for simply activating the game. The OCD+ game wasn't even nice enough to do that.

This was fine

I was not able to get that far because the game is actually really complicated. I had no idea why there was this monster with a tongue looming for me that did not even seem to hurt me. At least the graphics were decent, but they could have used some work. I think you had a good idea but the problem was that the way the game automatically went to the next screen was kind of annoying. It would have also been nice to put some variety in the platforms that come up. I do not even know how to use that gun well.

[SAS 2: Insane Asylum]

Pretty fun zombie game

I love zombie games and this is a nice addition to the never-ending number of games we have here. I admired how the graphics were good and the zombies were pretty well drawn. You really knew how to pace yourself by only advancing on to something else after a certain amount of money. This refers not just to the guns, but also the area. A wider area always works better to spread out more room between yourself and the zombies. It was funny to watch them just jitter around while I was pumping them full of lead.

What is this game?

I never played this game as a kid so obviously I am not at all familiar with it. The best thing about this was probably how fun it was to just watch the boxes make themselves up. Granted, I assume that is a bad thing because of those red "x"s I kept seeing. It was good fun for you to make a tribute to an old fashioned game. The biggest weakness, however, was easily the fact that there was no sound at all. I would have liked it if you had just searched for some music online and inserted it in.

[Modern Weapons Quiz 2]

Look at all those guns

I am not much of a gun expert myself, so this was not one of my favorites. It could have also been presented in a better way, as it seemed to be lacking in background. I still think that this should please any gun lover. I was even able to answer a few off the top of my head, because I read so much information on the Internet, like how the AK-47 was the most popular assault rifle. I thought it was weird how I was getting everything right. I then realized that the quiz simply did not tell me the answers until I was done with it.

[I-bot Reinterpretation]

What a robot

This was fairly fun to look at, although it was a bit hard to understand exactly what I was a game or not. It was more of a display of all the things you had done in FlashPlayer. It looks like you definitley did something right, because these drawings are pretty creative. It seems like the robot mascot is not used enough on Newgrounds. Have a Happy Halloween, although that doesn't mean much on this date. I am glad that you got help from MindChamber, as he is one of the most respected mods here.

Manuel-Dangelo responds:

it IS mostly a displayer, but there is not a tag for thoes, so... game it gone.
I agree that bots should have more spotlight, and yes, MindChamber is realy cool... just don't mess with him... he tends to get pissed of bit easy.

[Kees' Adventure 3]

Some adventure

This was a good entry in the series, and I think you are trying to do a good job of making a game interesting by having it be mundane. The graphics are really good in this. I especially like how the grass just glistens on the screen. The character designs are pretty ordinary, but that was most likely what you were aiming for when making this game. The music got a bit annoying as it was a bit repetitive, but not terrible. It seems like you are sticking to what you think is best for you and it works.
