| The
Infamous game with complete CBS and CMS and some very extreme
eye candy. So how does it level up on a Vince scale? Let's
have a look.
Graphics: Perhaps the thing that came out
and grabbed me first when I played Chimera was the
glorious Eye Candy. The use of pictures and panoramas is
so well done that you'd swear you were on your old SNES.
The spaceship scene looks just as good as do all the chipsets
and character poses that abound through the game. How could
I not give it a perfect score?
Graphics
Final Score: 20/20
Playability: Both the CBS
and the CMS were not only in working order they were beautiful
and nearly flawless. The CBS was especially well done with
a Parasite Eve type control scheme. It fits the game perfectly
and boast some of the most impressive and flawless programming
ever done in rm2k. It was however difficult to grasp the
system at first. The opening tutorial (if you can call it
that) was loaded with ebonics and other hard to decipher
words. It's a great system but it could have been explained
better.
Playability
Final Score: 18/20
Story: Story? What story?
As far as Chimera report goes the story is pretty weak.
The game is short rounding out about a half hour of gameplay.
Certainly nothing revolutionary. The game felt more like
it was just made to show off the CBS.
Story Final
Score: 13/20
Music: If the music was original
it wasn't very good. It fit the sci-fi theme well but nothing
really gave me that extra push that made it all better.
Music Final Score:
15/20
Finishing The Job: All in
all The Chimera Report offered entertainment galore but when the
real meat was needed it didn't give me what I wanted. A
richer storyline could have added SO much to this game and
given it an absolutely perfect score. But since it failed
in that section I can't give it the full points it deserves.
The hero was the macho loner/rebel type which was everything
I expected. The graphics however were so beautiful I had
to give it at least a 17.
Finishing The
Job Final Score: 17/20
FINAL SCORE:
83/100 = B
Grading Scale
100%-90% = A - Wow you truly
are god. Let me kiss your feet plz.
89%-70% = B - You've got
Kinks to work out but it's still a very good game worth
the time.
69%-50% = C - Meh it's not
bad but it's not great. You've still got a lot of work to
do.
49%-30% = D - Wow this really
is crap. This is so bad I've put an ancient death curse
on you.
39% and below = F - This
score shouldn't even be possible. Your game has to be the
worst piece of crap to ever grace this earth. I feel sorry
for you and if you ever have offspring let me assure you
they will be disgraced to know you once made a game this
crappy.
Please keep in mind these are all MY opinions.
You might love this game so there's no harm in trying it
out.
