Wow...

Ow man, Monkey Island memories!
I've got to admit, I haven't really played this yet, since it's part three and I decidet to start from the first. Just played a bit past the intro and was totally swept away by the Guybrush feeling it had to it.
The way the mouth moves while talking, the font type, the touch of the jokes, the caribbean piratey feeling, even the musik (or IS it the music of one of the games? I only know part 1 + 2 so I can't tell) fits.
This alone passes as a job well done so the 10 isn't that premature (at least I hope so).
Ok, now I guess it's time to get to part 1 and start indulging myself in the memory of good ol' days.

Thank you! I am a big fan of monkey island too :)
In Ketinetto I wanted to recreate the spirit of the old adventure games.

I have composed the musik with some "monkey" influence : )

Cheers!

"F Zero" with a "T" for "Too bad"?

Okay, since I really liked it, I will complain more about the things that prevented me from faving it.
First, as regards racing games on NG, there really should be more like this out there. Usually, 3D racers are complete crap, I feel like I checked about all of them :/
Yours, on the other hand, kicked off when the speed upgrades took effect, those had some impact :D
BUT.
Both the racetrack background and the music were very repetitive.
Not really a problem with me, I know about filesize issues.
Nevertheless, what's with the teams? There's not a single difference here except the discription and the color of the ship (am I missing something?).
And the ships. Since you obviously put much effort in this, how come the racer design was that bad? Seriously, some hard edges or sleek streamlining but NO crappy McDonald's plaything please.
Also, they all looked alike. At least three different models, maybe four, would have made all the difference in the world. And changing the stats per ship (or at least per team), like topspeed, max grip and stuff - c'mon, not much effort or filesize explosions here.
Finally, no reward for winning the tournament's first place. Just a star. Ugh.
Well, I'm an ass with this, cause me and pseikow got a game out (AGONY) that has no *real* reward for making a perfect run as well, but at least a different screen + different music + different text.
These things happen due to deadline issues, I know all too well.
Okay, I guess that's it. Oh yeah, please don't import designs from other scources into your work, not a good impression. Boba Fett's ship from Star Wars!? Dude.
Right. After all, again, I'm bitchin' so much because you really missed out on a wonderful game that would have gone straight to my favourites.
The foundation is there. Why not give it a second go and mod it just a little so you eventually score what your work originally deserved?
Cheers, Z3p.

Hi There,

First of all, thanks for taking the time out to review the game in such detail. I absolutely agree that there's room for improvement here. (Isn't there always) and in this case that's the reason it's got the X after it. Now that we've got the basic game sorted we can work on XI through to M!

I think you hit the nail on the head with the filesize issue though, the ships are the by far the biggest overhead on filesize so having more wasn't really an option here. Would have loved to do it though, maybe next time we'll find a way to do it more cleverly.

Anyway, thanks again and I hope you enjoyed it enough to warrent the effort put into the review!

Cheers

Good thing

I wasn't aware of something like this existing, but that is a concept I encourage Newgrounds' staff to spread further. If everyone who creates an account were not forced, but at least given the suggestion to practice voting, I think many users (and therefore NG itself) would take some benefit from doing so.
8 Stars for the idea and programming, not more because I give full score for mainly expert drawing skills plus overall appearance.
Well done.
