First off, I didn't actually purchase this game, I rented it...and let's just say that was a waste of $5.00. The game graphics are good, but the actual game play is boring, tedious and drawn-out. You start out awaking from a cryo-sleep and proceed to turn on the heat...do I need to go on? You soon find a robot sidekick that is just as annoying as the main character as you puzzle your way through couridors and hallways. It's alot of wandering around without much action...rent it first (and give yourself plenty of time to wander through the game) before you commit any more of your hard-earned cash...trust me on this one.

Well it has is goods points. Very few unfortionately.

The game has a great concept and you can't go wrong with a Resident Evil style game, only they did. The only reson it got more than one star is because I love survival horror type games and I felt a little sorry. This game had potential to be a masterpiece.

Screw Ya'll I Like This Game

It has bad graphics, but a good story. it's funny with bad excuses for horror scenes. but i'll warn you, prepare yourself for the scream when you fall to your death. Classic!

A fun game that keeps you guessing, but nothing past that

Don't be fooled by any past claims about this game falling under the title of Survival Horror in being horrific or anyway; despite its name, there is very little horrific about OverBlood. However, just because it doesn't live up to false claims, doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, it's actually quite a good Adventure game and it has some fun moments. It does have a double-edged blade however and while the adventuring and narrative are sharp, at times they're a little too sharp.

For one, you have to use almost everything within your humanly power to avoid dying as every event, enemy and puzzle means your life. The only problem is if you don't know what to do, what items you need or where to go when the crap hits the fan, then you will end up making a quick acquaintance with the Grim Reaper in this game.

One aspect about the game that bugged me was the simple fact that your main nemesis in the game are natural disasters that happen almost randomly. I guess natural disasters isn't the right word as you are accosted by deadly sewer water at one point, but the sheer, unbridled randomness of such encounters gets exasperating after awhile, especially when you have to escape from a crumbling cave on a jet ski (something that Resident Evil 4 unknowingly ripped off and made more infuriating and unnecessary).

The enemies you do encounter in the game are few and far between which breaks up the adventure aspects so you can punch or shoot your way to victor, but there's really no atmosphere or consistency with it and considering it's the only moment in which you have a life bar, it makes the instant death 'you vs. mother nature' aspect unfair in comparison.

The game play is pretty good as controls are responsive and you can usually tell where you need to go most of the time. The graphics aren't half bad either, but like most 3D games it tends to have a silly feel to it, such as when your robot pal Pipo decides to jump up randomly and his robotic body literally squishes itself in order to jump and every time Raz or Mily runs they look like wooden puppets getting their strings being violently pulled on.

The story has its predictable moments, but like the game play/sudden puzzle solving elements, it keeps you guessing while telling you just enough for you to know. What really knocked me off my feet about this game though was the voice acting as it's REALLY good. The only down part is that Raz sounds a little bored sometimes (I understood it when he first woke up, but the entire time?), but that's the only nitpick I can make.

So overall, the game is pretty good. Not fantastic or a magnificent achievement, but enjoyable.
