sinfulwolf's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Road of the Dead]

Fun, addicting, and well crafted.

Right off the bat, SickDeathFiend's signature art style came to the forefront, which simply made the game a visual treat as I've always liked his work, and it went hand in hand with this brutal and chaotic vision.

Second, right in the intro movie, came the excellent voice work. Sapphire's work in voice acting I've enjoyed since Hippolyta and still shines well in this piece, but Joshua Tomar and DruoxtheShredder both did such an excellent job with the main character, the soldiers and the commanders, fleshing out into a full story what could have been dull and boring easily. I would almost say that the background chatter really made this game stand out so many others in the zombie genre. It brought to life to terror, chaos and carnage of an outbreak of the undead.

On top of art and voice acting the sound effects and music from SoS also create a full experience and really make it stand out.

Finally onto the gameplay itself; the controls were easy, and quite responsive for the most part, though I did find there were times the car would stop without explanation and often lead to death as it would happen in front of a soldier or helicopter. Some more bullets and a longer range with the pistol would have been nice to deal with soldiers outside the car but it didn't really impact the feel or flow other than those moments.

The upgrading system was quite good, and the upgrades themselves made a noticeable difference even if I didn't see any visible gauges for personal or vehicle health aside from the speedometer for, well speed. While it would have been nice to have some explanation or tutorial saying what you needed to do to get points, it was obvious after my first death. Also, the save and checkpoint system was very nice, and the fact that I didn't need to beat a section to earn those points was very welcome.

The zombie variety was a nice visual touch, and while all the soldiers looked the same, that is the point of a uniform. While the heavy gore and crashes caused some heavy lag it wasn't difficult to deal with and wasn't a problem.

The jolts from smashing into cars was very jarring, and while it was a nice little touch for difficulty perhaps the upgraded bumped could have lessened that impact a bit.

The ending of the story line was not entirely expected, though with some of the folks involved I suspected something along those lines was coming down the highway.

In the end, it's a great and entertaining game, with some feelings of Carmageddon. Well done to everyone involved.

That's quite a detailed review you got there man :D All the praises are much appreciated, I'd like however to give props to John Creasman aka Xalkie (yeah the main character is named that too :D) for the voice acting he did alongside Druox and Tomar, he did a superb job with pretty much half the story dialogs and soldiers, SickDeathFiend also did the zombie sounds. and SoS made amazing music but not the sound effects, I will take my due credits for those hahaha :D I'm lucky to work with such a great team, I've been a fan of SDF since like 2003 and nwo i'm working with him? awesome! You made valid points about some gameplay "flaws", nothing's perfect but we're all working toward that! Thanks for the great review! Take care

bland

Unfortunately with such stiff competition out there in the dressup genre, this game dosn't really cut it as its very bland. One girl, no nudity, limited clothing options, and the girl was in a fairly silly unmovable pose. She was cute though, not hot, just adorable and cute.
Alas while nothing really wrong with it, there just isn't anything new, enticing, arousing to really compete with the other dressup games out there.

we'll this isnt a mature rated game... so ^_^ its not ment to have nudity

[Endless War 3]

The endless bloodbath

Addictive, fun, and bloody. The game is very well put together. I fully enjoyed running around blowing the shit out of the many enemies arrayed for me.
The graphics were well done for the style of game you had gone for, and also for the frame rate of the game (my computer couldn't even take the large battle sequences).
As for the style, I have always found great entertainment in bird's eye view shooters, and this one was no different.
Sound... well there was no music (which dosn't really matter... play your own) and the sounds of the gunshots/explosions were great, well done. However I kinda wish there were some more bloody sound effects, or maybe even some voices. However that too would have taken away from the framerate so you did a great job witht the sound.
The violence of the game is fucking great. I love the body parts flying about with the blood splattering across the ground, very well done on that part.
Overall, I find that the game is quite well done, and I am very pleased that you included the original two games in this package as well. This game is highly recomended for fans of shooters.

One more thing about the framerate. I've noticed that the game runs a bit slowlier in IE. Try to download it from ArcadeTown.com and play offline.
