Frank Herberts's Dune Review

I think it’ll be the shortest review I’ve ever written. Because I deleted the game after playing it less than the install time.. Every word in the spotlight is serious. It’s not a game, it’s a training tool that can be used to educate naughty brats, a roller coaster that you can last three seconds without feeling sick, a rag of software that would prove that there is no intelligent life on earth if it accidentally fell into the hands of aliens.. What the hell is this?

It’s like being a game that reflects Frank Herbert’s world in the most realistic way.. What they’re doing is kind of adapting the first book in the series. The story begins where Paul and his mother Jessica were kidnapped after an attack by the Harkonnens and the car they were riding in fell. Your first task is to capture a piece of silver and draw the worm’s attention in that direction to reach the nearby village of Fremen. At first, you feel that there is a problem with the controls.. For some reason, when the worm appears, the game suddenly stops being an “action/adventure” that you play through the eyes of the third person and turns into a “side-looking” platform game. You can’t run in the sand when you enter the marshes, you have to see in front of you to see the marshes in question and most importantly to get an idea of where you are going, you can’t see. You can’t escape the worm when you’re playing from a kind of Mario Brady point of view, and you die.. Dhaka one, gol Cryo.

I thought Cryo was a solid firm. Did he make good adventures? I already trusted him and bought the game.. And I even feel sorry for the two-and-a-half million törkish pounds I’m giving you right now. If I accidentally took the original or something, I’d probably kill myself. Cryo was already a criminal in terms of terrible controls and stupid camera angles, but the games would still be nice, we wouldn’t worry and manage. They’ve outdone themselves this time..

The game is an action/adventure played through the eyes of the third person. At least that’s what he claims. Because I couldn’t figure out where that third person’s eye was looking.. He’s looking everywhere but in front of him. Either he doesn’t know how to look in the third person, or there are more than three people in the middle! Thirty-three people, not three, would not think of such strange camera angles if they looked at it, rest assured. As you will fully understand at the end of the article, this is the first proof that the cryo team is alien (I think they came from Uranus).

Second proof checks. I don’t think any creature in this part of the galaxy can think of such terrible controls. Now, this may seem an exaggeration to you, but it’s not. There are controls that make the game unplayable. I do not believe that pure sloppiness, recklessness can create such a disaster. You have to wrestle with the keyboard and head to the screen to move the character you’re controlling, see where it’s looking. Although the last one does not change the situation, it provides psychological relief.. The camera doesn’t follow your character. So let’s say you turned him to the left, which doesn’t mean the camera will turn there. On the contrary, you continue to see the man from the left side. Normally, terrible controls like this have a separate button to bring the camera to the back of your guy, and that’s not it. If the camera ever comes at him again, it’s luck. You can play the whole game without seeing your way. Naturally, unanswered questions such as where I am going, how to go to the right, what is in front of me, where I will press are listed in the increase.. And there’s “action” in the game. I mean, you have to shoot or something. And your sight is not independent of you. I mean, normally you can change the sight with the mouse, and you don’t have to move for that, that’s what you need. Your arm is still, you need to move to change the point you’re aiming at. You are seeing forward, this is not possible. Tell me, it’s not over.. As you can see, to think of a control system of this degree of stupidity, you must either mean your job, or you must be an alien.

Do you need to tell me more? Is there any need to mention that these controls can not be changed in any way, that there is nothing that can be set in the options menu, that there is already nothing in the name of the menu? It’s a single that saves in terms of graphics and sound, and although they’re not very good, they almost shine in such a disgrace. Stop buying, it’s a human duty to break the CD where you see it.
