| Description | I should have written this review (and most of the subsequent reviews below) about ten weeks ago but hey, better late than never. The reason this review is so late is because I've spent all those weeks playing this fabulously addictive crap game (and I still haven't completed it)! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I would describe this finely-crafted treasure as a cross between Jet Set Willy and any game from the infamous Cascade Cassette 50. It's a large arcade adventure (a multiload even) with a truckload of identical UDGs, inexcusable bugs and glitches as well as some of the most revolting choices of colours known to man. You will need to do a lot of squinting to get through this game, so please get permission from your local optician before commencing play. On the face of it, you wouldn't think that a game with such a detailed storyline, countless different screens and a tie-in license with a hugely popular daytime soap would have a hope in hell of winning a crap game compo. After all, Macsen's Eastenders is a wonderful game! However, I think the awful yet strangely compelling Sunset Beach has a good chance of taking the CGC trophy this year, not least because I'm gonna rig the voting system to make sure of it. No, I won't really. |
