So Bobs Game demo one came out either officially or non-officially- some how the world obtained it and now the world can say if it sucks or not.

So some background awhile ago this guy called Bob claimed to have made a game over the period of 5 years. After awhile he went crazy and did an over the top “Viral” campaign- which in the end resulted in this random demo.

Overall? Just like what people have said the past few days since Bob has been more open about what this gem contains- just Retro Game Challenge with a tacked on story.

Taking things as they come- I’m going to talk about the game from what I’ve played and not what Bob has hyped up his own mind.

So I put the game onto my DS and was like ‘mmm’ some load time, stupid warning label he’s attached which looks like it is done in paint. The rest of the text, menus and speech after that though seem very nice and sharp. But this warning label was just crap.

The demo was based around the first 5 seconds of Bobs game- with the mission been to find the batteries. Yes once I figured out that looking in boxes wasn’t going to find batteries and that switching the power off will make the brother run around like a little fag – I could then steal the batteries. That was semi alright- but then you get a bloody GameBoy (called a GameToy from Gantendo) and your mum nags you to go next door and play with the kid who should have one of these bloody toys (god only knows why she would think that). What more is she puts a fucking shock collar on – (wait for it) yuu. What a crazy bitch.

The rest of the demo ends up you braking into the kids house (if you want- iddno if you can, I didn’t try I went straight to the kid) but yeah once you get to the kid hes like “OMFG SOME STRANGER IS HERE” and then he’s like ‘your gay’ until you tell him your dad has an amusement park. Now your best friends forever and he makes you play tetris until you finish it. But this isn’t any normal tetris it is a bastardized version with missing bricks from the blocks and is hard as all hell. Did I mention I hate tetris?

Well once you do that the kid is like “not even the game developer could finish it” and then its over.

I suppose its a better outcome then what I thought was going to happen- especially with the brother. I thought the main character would just bitch to his mummy and get her to tell him off.

Also there are some random strange boxes in one of the rooms- a severed head and fertilizer as well as garbage bags? The fuck?

Potential Score: So-So

From what I’ve played today there is some potential to go above that and be a thumbs up- but if this is what the package feels and plays like for the whole game then this will be quite a disappointing but still semi good game.
