New Zealand Story
~~~~ NEW ZEALAND STORY ~~~~
===========================
~~~~ COMMERCAIL GAME ~~~~
=========================
~~~~ REVIEWED ~~~~
==================
New Zealand Story is a nice little budget game selling at around £7.99. All
the baby chicks in your family have been stolen by a big walrus and your
quest is to get them all back by completing each level and getting to the
chick who is caged up at the end of the level. At every forth stage, there
is an end of level guardian and these range from big killer whales that can
only be killed if you are eaten and then you shoot at him from inside up to
all other strange types of creatures.
There are loads of different levels and each one has a different theme. You
take on many rolls from simple walking, to swimming. There are lots of
different baddies and you can even steal their transport and fly around in
amny different contraptions including a balloon and a flying, shooting,
ducky thing.
It is a very cute little platform game that my 5 year old brother loves
although for me it can start getting boring.
It is quite orginal and graphics are pretty good too. Sound is alright but
that music gets on your bloody nerves after while, belive me!!!
There is a slight elelment of problem solving to every level and finding the
correct route can be quite a task although the difficulty level is just
right and although the game is nice and simple, it can also keep the most
a clever adult intrested for a while, but not for too long.
I have completed this game (with the aid of a cheat!) and the ending screen
is nothing special although it kept my brother happy. You are produced with
a few pictures with a story of how you defeated the walrus and there is some
new music in the background.
This is a game that is slightly above average although some will disagree,
it will keep the average person going for a while and a young child going
forever.
