Reviews for "TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody"

Excellent Concept Plagued by Midi Limitation

"Too Much Spare Time" places a smile on everyone's face with the concept of "Zero Wing Rhapsody." However, the limited Midi sound and poor voices slice the score in half. Still, the concept is valid.

Queen is considered "operatic rock"; melodrama plays a key. The flash achieves this visually, but not vocally. Voices fall short of exaggerating the emotion for Queen. It seemed "TMST" "held back," and many will pick up on it.

This must be Midi, but I could be wrong. Whatever was used succeeded with the piano, but not the heavy riffs required during Cats' head-banging sequence. That spoiled the fun.

These seem trivial as a weakness, but they're hard to overcome. Flash artists who aren't musicians borrow from media collections, which works for Newgrounds but few official venues. Worse, studio recording requires hourly fees, and this site's flash artists refuse to shell out money for projects than what's deemed "standard" or "necessary." Going solo has it's share of disadvantages.

However, the sound is clear, so that counts, and the spoof is a cool concept supported by excellent visuals. If the sound gets a spontaneous overhaul, a second "All Your Base" craze won't be far off.

TmsT responds:

Midi limitation was intentional, yes, even the crappy guitar riffs - see original Zero Wing animation; the singers had never encountered these AYB lyrics before and had no rehearsal; nice review though - excellent english tarnished only slightly by a misused apostrophe and a few too many quote marks to sound not-sarcastic.

YOU ARE SO AWESOME

ur awesome at making flash keep at it!!!

Two Words...

Fucking Awsome!

That was beautiful

You took two of the best things of all time, added incredibly stylish graphics to them, excellent sound, and an air guitar solo! All in all a perfect synthesis of Bohemian Rhapsody and All Your Base.

Bravo!

Priceless...

You took two clasics and put them together to make something so perfect it made me wan't to cry...Absolutely priceless. I down-loaded the Soundtrack just so I can share it with all my freinds! This is deserving of front page! I'm going to be laughing for weeks! I have watched it several times and it just gets better! This submission brought a tear to my eye...But to leave off on a happy note..."All your base are belong to ME!"

Excellent. :..)
