| Description | A game about the recent election has to be entertaining, yes? You'd not be wrong. Chaosmongers has taken the 5 yearly circus and turned it into a laugh a minute romp through the nastier side of tabloid reporting which in turn affects the results dramatically. No manifestos for these parties - it's sensation all the way. Presentation sparkles all the way through, and a strange level of gameplay arises from the wheel of fortune screen when you realise that the same numbers results in the same behaviour from your party. Just got to try and hit that number 6 again... Flash border effects abound, with barely readable scrolly text and annoying sound effects to complete the package. Unfortunately, it's far too playable, despite the copouts with the scores at the end. It's accurate though, I've not seen Labour lose yet. I'd give this one 5/10, as like Spot the Dot II it's quite a playable and addictive little game, and not nearly crap enough. |
| Comments | First thing you see is a terribly coloured loading screen of Maggie Thatcher, although the fact the loading screen is named "Hail Satan" made me chuckle. Don't even bother trying to read the scrolly text once loaded, as it goes really too fast. Again, another nice touch. In-game, it's been nicely presented, but the whole game is really a random chance of winning. I had a couple of goes, and the BNP party won first time, the Lib Dems the second, so it's not really accurate by any means! I can only score this an average 5/10, because the good way it's been made. Multi-coloured border bars??? Come on! |

| Description | This one is an absolute gem. Unfortunately, it's far too well crafted and thought out to be anywhere near the winner... but we all know what happens when the game's actually any good, don't we, Woody? You're Osama Bin-Laden, and after a hard day's work terrorising the capitalist merkins, it's time for bed. You must head home via a series of Manic Miner style screens collecting items to unlock each exit. The sprites are smooth, the graphics quite well done, and the puzzles easy.It wouldn't be amiss on the shelves of WHSmiths, having been created in Platform Game Designer which does this sort of thing quite well. A good game, which defeats the object. A crap score of 4/10 - it's not great, too easy by far, but too technically good to win. |
| Comments | It's basically Manic Miner (obviously!), but you're a muslim, collecting bombs(?). The thing is, it's really a very well done game! No sound mind you, but smooth motion and animation, great loading screen, and varied challenges per screen. For this, it scores a very low 2/10 |
