Reviews for The Pick of Destiny

[Hebacheba]

I'm sorry, but it's not very good.

Overall: 4
This just isn't a very good game. The main reason being that it's been done millions of times. Also, it didn't look like you put very much effort into it. You said something about dancing to the beat of rock but... There was no dancing at all. In the screen where you actually played it was just the arrows floating up and the pick you were getting... Nothing much really. This game was kinda boring.

Graphics: 6
They were okay graphics, but you definatly could've made some things look a lot nicer.

Style: 3
Like I said, this game has been done tons of times. I give you a three because you put a storyline into it.

Sound: 8
You did choose songs I liked.

Violence: 0
Well I didn't see any violence.

Interactivity: 10
Well it IS a game...

Humor: 0
I didn't really see anything funny.

~Some pointers~
In the screen where the arrows were floating up you could put some flashy stuff in. Make the text that tells you what kind of arrow you hit (Perfect, Great, etc.) more noticeable. A flashy and fun to look at playing screen would've gotten you a higher score.

LilDwarf responds:

The dance this is a saying man. You're just being a smartass and taking it literally right?

Apart from that, this is the first good critical review. I couldn't make any fancy animations or flashy stuff in game because it would lag the thing alot, and noone likes that.

so many better games

the controls are what pissed me off the most... don't use the arrow keys.. they are horrible for this type of game.. i would recommend something like FGHJ or possibly SD JK or something like that.. just make sure you can properly use 4 fingers instead of 3 like you do with the arrow keys.. also it had horrible sync to it... there were plenty of times i should have gotten perfect and got late and a few times i should have gotten early or late and i got a good or perfect... oh and the whole 'sometimes what sound you are hitting the keys to changes for no apparent reason' thing gets really old...

LilDwarf responds:

I think I figured out why people complain why they can't hit the arrows correctly.

From what I can tell, you argure that from YOUR point of view, saying that the arrows are not on sync from where YOU think the beat is. This is kind of a biased opinion. If not, then why is it that there are many other people who think the sync and beats is just fine or even perfect?

As for the arrow keys comment....you seem to be the only one so far with this problem so I won't take it into consideration :)

Not bad:pretty good

overall,pretty cool game.Not very unique,but still pretty good.
my only suggestions r put more songs in,and be a bit more creative.
i give it a 4/10 cause of lack of creativity and not much gameplay.
sorry.

Try Again

First off the gameplay style is unoriginal, second, the combo system is so picky that even if you are off by a 10th of a second it will say you are to late, and for that i give you a 4.

LilDwarf responds:

Ok.

its alright

But for a guitar game it has nothing to do with guitars, minus the picks. Dancing to fix the picks? I mean half of the songs dont even have guitar.
