Bon,je reconnais que le jeu est loin d'être parfait mais il y a de l'idée...il manque juste l'ambiance à la silent hill !!!!!!!!May 10, 2006 - When we walked over to the kiosk for Necro-Nesia we noticed that unlike the rest of the Nintendo booth, this area wasn't so crowded. But, determined to do our job, we took what the player before us had to say -- "good luck" --to heart, and started to play. So, what did we think of Necro-Nesia? If you have seen the three second video hidden in the Nintendo conference trailer, you wouldn't need to ask. This title is void of anything that may resemble fun.
Necro-Nesia looks like any other survival horror game on the market, with a Resident Evil type of vibe. The demo gave enough time for you to get an idea of the gameplay, but it happens to skip out on any plot or story. But piecing together the demonstration, it looks like there is an infestation of large monster or alien centipedes. Also the more threatening enemies that you will actually attack are the large lightning quick praying mantis', and at the end of the demo you will be confronted with a King Kong size gorilla. The backdrop of the demo is a dark forest, with a cabin in the middle of it. Luckily you have your trusty flashlight to help you shed light on your path. Unlike most of the rest of the game, the flashlight does add to the moodiness of the demonstration.
As stated, the most important idea to work into Wii games is gameplay over graphics. Unfortunately this game is treated much like current-generation throwaway titles, with a slick surface, but absolutely no depth. The controls are clunky and extremely hard to use, even for the basics like attacking, dodging, or throwing. When you start out you are equipped with a rock to throw and large stick, with which you slash and hack your enemies. The demo was using both the nunchuck and the Wii-mote to control your character.
Unlike most other titles, the control stick is used to jog in the direction desired…except backwards. In order to go backwards you must jump back or dodge, in order to do this you must hold back on the control stick then raise both controllers upwards towards yourself. This is easier said than done. Another feature added to the title was that your character runs out of breath after jogging too much. Normally this feature would add to the gameplay forcing you to run differently depending on the situation, Necro-Nesia just has the guy run out of breath enough to stop your character for a second, before he is able to run again. Not that this is a bad thing to have in the game, but we believe that it needs to be polished and changed slightly before the game launches. Another aspect of the game that needs polishing would be the usable items. In the demo there is a cabin which you can enter that is full of bugs, but there is also an orange. The orange blends in with all the rest of the graphics on the screen, so we didn't even see it the first time we were in the cabin. But the problem is with the items is that in order to pick it up all you had to do is walk over it. After walking over it, it told us that we picked it up, even though no animation was given to even attempt to show us bending over to grab it.
Another important portion of the game is the action. Since there are lots of little bugs crawling on the ground, it goes without saying that you will get attacked by them. When this happens you need just shake the remote control to brush them off. This may be an odd thing to harp on, but for as many bad guys as there are, they just don't attack you enough. Each time we played this, we were only attacked once by these bugs, even though we were running near and on them. As far as fighting the large mantis in the demo, we had nothing but trouble. Whether you decide to attack it with the stick or the rocks, you will have a challenge ahead of you, as the mantis is much faster than you are, with a long reach. To pick which item to attack with you will use the Z button, then when your weapon is ready you press the B button to get into attack mode. Once ready you cast the remote control downwards, and unleash your attack. But, if the mantis is too fast for you - and it will be - you will want to use the dodging roll. Even though this function was fun, and pretty well implemented on the control, the animation is so clunky that it ruins the whole thing. In order to roll left you shake the nunchuck, while you shake the remote control to roll right. It is also possible the aim your throws by holding the A and B buttons, but we never really got this to work properly either. All around this game features really bad control that may work for some pretty and polished next-generation titles, but it wont fly on a system where the graphics cannot match their opponents.
Even though Necro-Nesia doesn't play great, the graphics happen to be okay in comparison to other games on the system. Although nowhere near the level of Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Necro-Nesia does prove to have a creepy atmosphere - that won't sell the game but will make it tolerable for those who may receive it as a gift, or have to review it. When this game gets ready to ship, we believe that the developer Spike and Nintendo should focus on the moody atmosphere and decent graphics, to sell this game.
So is Necro-Nesia as bad as we are making it out to be? Probably not. But, did any of our staff enjoy playing this game? No. So what can be done to salvage this game? We believe that tweaking the controls would make a big deal of difference to the overall quality of the game. With the ability to turn around, smoother animations, a character with decent lung capacity, and a re-haul of the whole combat system, Necro-Nesia could be a title worth looking at.
Et si on était revenus à l'ère N64?
