not bad

graphics were good at the end

Thanks. Just that end clip took 2 days to make; I had to apply an awful lot of compression, and in the end used a series of jpeg images rather than an actual video clip.

good

Decent game but it's it really lacking polish. May be you could add in a machine gun or add in different bombs. The music can get very annoying.

One of the most sophisticated games on the site.

I think its a shame that Overrun II's score is hanging at just under 4.00, It does take someone who is familiar with actionscript and has developed a game or AS oriented project to appreciate the sheer amount of effort and work that must have gone into this. It must be dissapointing to find some reviewers that are clearly just regular people on their coffee break saying that the game is repetitve, as when playing it, I found just the sense of awe at the game itself enough to keep going.

I'll comment that the backgrounds were exquisite, especially considering you created them from scratch, the soundtrack was suiting and the enemies were interestingly designed, the 3d models had both positive and negative aspects to them (they looked like they could have been from a minor's tv program, but the models helped the psuedo 3d effect work really well.

I found you comment that this would probably be you last NG submission to be rather distressing. Surely you can't throw in the towel after such a great game like this? What about Overrun 3?

All In all a simply mindblowing piece of work.

Denvish responds:

Thanks for the lengthy review. There won't be an Overrun III, I'm don't intend to take on any more projects as massive and time-consuming as this. And yeah, as I said on the BBS, the fact that Throw It did better than this is extremely frustrating.
