Eh.
Probably one of the more overplayed songs in flash animation, even though the lyrics were changed. It was a bit too long, the animation was choppy and it wasn't drawn very well. It's no original AYB, but it has its moments.
Reviews for "TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody"
Wow.
OK...Just because I thought the sinigng concept was EXTREMELY gay and stupid. But the graphics were good, style...sucked, sound was good, but the music was...Unbeleivably gay. For humor, I hgave you a 10m because...it was so bad I had to just laugh at it. I spit out my pepsi laughing. Please, NO MUSICALS.

Dont listen to these fuckers, this is a very orginal concept and is executed very well. I can see you spent alot of time on this movie and I am glad to see something besides random violence and overall shit on newgrounds. Bravo
Hmm really!
I know you tryed but like, NO!!! nothing beats the origanal song man...
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.
<_< i dont find this funny
that was gay.... sorry to say
TmsT responds:
Do you find your mother funny?
No?
She must be gay.
