Kings Quest V

Graphics: 5.5 out of 10
Sound: 2.5 out of 10
Gameplay: 5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6.5 out of 10
Overall: 5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are okay in this game. There's quite a bit of
detail, but the color scheme is a little off and the characters are too
small to have such detail on them. There's also very little originality
in every aspect of this game, but especially the graphics.
Sound: The music is really bad. It's annoying and some parts are louder
than other parts. I could hardly stand playing this game. It was that bad.
Sound effects are pretty much vacant in this game.
Gameplay: This game, a port of the semi-popular PC series, is original,
but kind of dull. You play as this wizard would is just trying to do various
things in his life. Anyway, even though the story is kind of lame, the
gameplay is original for the NES. It's in a fixed view and you walk around
and must try to find and do different things. Like talk to people to find a
mission and use certain objects. The controls are pretty hard since you
only have the A and B button.
Hardness factor: This game was actually pretty hard. Walk in the
wrong area, and you'll die. There usually isn't a warning either. Kind
of confusing on top of all this.
Overall: 5 out of 10. Eh, this game was okay, but definitely nothing
special. I didn't really want to play this game again after 15 minutes.
You should just go get the PC version anyway.
