Have you ever been in a relationship where you continue making excuses for a loved one? Then you wake up one morning and realized that this person does nothing right at all and that they need to be out of your life before they drag you down. That’s how I felt playing Save the Farley Mowat. It fails at everything a game should be.
The premise of Save the Farley Mowat is to blow up canadian robot soldiers and make it to the Sea Shepherd. So plot wise–there really isn’t one… other then blow up robots and one tank (I included a guide on how to beat the tank in this review).
You know how most likely every shooter since Wolfenstein 3d (1992) makes you conserve ammo? Not this game. You can’t even reload; there’s no point to it.
Who cares about reloading? How’s the AI you ask? Lets see, the robots either run into the path of your firing gun or just stand there if your more then 30 feet away. The Tank is the scary boss battle…Sorry I had to pause from this review for a second because I threw up from laughing so hard.
The Boss battle Guide goes like this:
- Stand in front of the tank
- Don’t move
- Shoot (still don’t bother moving)
- Watch the tank shoot missiles over you head, continue shooting (still don’t bother moving)
- Watch the tank explode ( Roll on floor laughing)
Alright so they failed AI… they must have spent their time on collision detection… fingers crossed…because I know they didn’t spend it on the animation. Nope. Uncross fingers. They failed this as well. I could rag on this game more but, I don’t want to harm this wounded game any more. The whole time I was playing this I kept on making excuses for it. Then I realized it only took me less then 10 minutes to beat. This game has no hope what so ever.
Bottom Line:
This will make you stop playing whack-a-mole, so you can whack Save the Farley Mowat. If you want to play a shooter that has much more depth, play either Doom or Wolfenstein 3d instead. Yes you heard me right, games that are almost 20 years old are better.
