Posted by Mister Random on November 19, 2008
Game Details
One Sentence Review
Overview
Graphics
Fairly average but makes good use of Avatars
Sound
Fairly limited and the repetive cheery tune starts to get on your nerves after a while
Gameplay
A Fairly unique type of game, it is best described as Black and White crossed with Sim City as the aim of the game is to build a world for Keflings to live in and you are a giant (Can be your avatar or other prebuilt characters) and you have to build the buildings the Keflings live in using them to gather resources. This is all there currently is to the game however
Learning Curve
Fairly short learning curve, should be able to get to grips with the game within 15 minutes
Difficulty
As all there is is world creation Very Easy
Replayability
Limited but there is the potential for user creativity which may add to the replayability of the game
Flaws
The main flaws with this game are the music, and the currently limited scope of the game as there is no competitive element in any game mode
Overall
This is a good way of showcasing how Avatars can be used in games, however at the moment there is too litle depth to this game for my liking, though it is fun to play
Rating
3/5 – Can be fun to play but there is little depth to the game at the present time
