Ouch!!! Today must be "Ruin the Restricted Area" day, as 1Up's Ryan Scott also feels obligated to show his rather careless and most definitely cynical critique with his overall rating of a mingy 3.0 out of 10 rating (of which his readers were equally as unimpressed, "upping" Ryan's score to a rather demeaning 4.0 out of 10)...
According to the manual, Restricted Area was created by exactly two people--and it shows. Now we aren't just talking about the sorely outdated shareware-caliber graphics, the amateurish techno soundtrack, the poorly translated dialogue, the horrible monster A.I., or even the truckload of glitches and crash bugs you'll encounter. No, what we mean is unabashedly dull action-RPG gameplay that will leave your eyes glazed over and your keyboard covered in a puddle of your own drool. |
