Cutthroat Island

Graphics: 2.5 out of 10
Sound: 3.5 out of 10
Gameplay: 4 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7.5 out of 10
Overall: 4 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics for this game are just bad. I was even surprised
how bad the graphics were when this game came out. Your characters
look especially blurry, though everything else looks a bit more detailed.
They get annoying sometimes.
Sound: Sound is also bad, though not as bad as the graphics. Music is
repetitive and levels all sound the same.
Gameplay: A poor beat 'em up with a mine cart game thrown in there.
When you press and hold down a button you crouch lower to the ground
and have different attacks. There is also a special attack you can use,
though it's pretty lame. The game can be fun (except the annoying mine
cart levels) but is usually just pretty bland. The story is also lame.
Hardness factor: This game is hard at the mine cart levels (the control
is bad) and the bosses are too powerful for your character, but the
regular enemies are usually pretty easy. The jump from easy to hard
in the low to mid levels is astonishing.
Overall: 4 out of 10. Graphics are bad, sound is repetitive, but the
gameplay is okay. I wouldn't recommend getting this game unless
you have a Game Genie.
