Mr. Bones Review

(Gasp even more reviews can it be true?!?! Yes it can! :)

Mr. Bones is a very unique game, which does not necessarily mean good just unique. In this game you play the skeleton of a dead jazz musician and you are battling an evil vampire who has taken control of an army of skeletons. A strange story for a strange game, eh. But what makes you wonder, how it is so unique is the fact that in 1 stange you play the drums in another you play the guitar and in another stage you tell jokes. Yes even thoguh you are battling an army of the dead you can tell jokes. Now to my knowledge none of these features has never before appeared in any other game.

Now those strange features doesn't make it any good just unique. But on your journey to kill the evil vampire you must battle deadly spiders, rolling stones, and evil skeletons. Another feature that is actually nice is that when you get hit you start to lose bones, so you get hit you lose a leg again an arm and so on. Then finally all there is, is a skull and a spinal cord and it hops along as you try to get more blue cartlidge so when you find more bones you can connect them to the rest of your body. And hopefully you can re-connect yourself beore you are killed. Also if you are complete and you continue to get blue cartlidge a blue line will appear after the word 'Bones' in the top right hand corner (your life meter) and this allows for you too shoot electricity out to kill skeletons before they egt too close.

However there are some pluses to this game and the major one is the cut scenes and man are they nice! This is where you can tell most of the time and effort as put into, they are so beautiful and some times whymsical making you laugh out loud. This is one of the few games where you play just to view the cutscenes, or you can just put the level select code in and go to the words with a camcorder near them which signifies a cutscene. This saves you the time from playing through all the levels (there are 30+), so just rent it, if you like it buy it, I however did not.

Not Recommened, barely worth renting
