The battle background looks like it's ripped out of FF6

Uh, did you read the review? MBS clearly mentions the Final Fantasy graphic ripping, as well as music ripping and other sundry items.

It's great that you're continuing to rock these reviews, MBS.

Thanks man! Yeah, they totally stole the FF6 backdrop and bookshelves. There are several other things that look fishy as well.

Doom Tactics: Evil Unleashed

Spazz's Doom game will be the greatest if it ever gets done. Each update has tons of new features, but the game always feels equally incomplete. In any case, it is an amazingly ambitious project and I'm cheering for him.

Most folks got lost trying to find the waterfall area actually. Even after writing a guide for it. I imagine that the game has NOT aged gracefully over the years, and with engine updates many of the spells have likely become broken.

This is my biggest fear with reviewing older games. I'm trying to be fair and consider that some things could be broken just because of how old it is, but it is a difficult thing to balance nonetheless.

I agree!

Code: Select all

agedGracefully.contains&#40;yes&#41; returns false.

But yeah, my second attempt through the game, I used the guide to help me find my way through the forest area, but the game kept crashing. Like, a lot. It continually crashed. So basically I only just left the forest area before I rage quit the game that time. It's a right shame, too.
