Catch up: Mike Edition



Day 5: A game that I would like to play:

 Metal Wolf Chaos.

 

It's a very oddball third person action game that has you control the President of the United States Michael Wilson Jr. who pilots a star-spangled mecha in order to do battle with the treacherous Vice President RICHAAAAARD! The game, despite having the most awesome plot ever conceived, never made it over to the US. It might be due to the fact that some missions involve destroying some DC landmarks. It's a damn shame, because it's already got an awesomely bad English dub in the style of the original RE, so it wouldn't take much to localize it. The game can be imported and played on a USA Xbox, but it's rather difficult to find now.

Oddly enough, it's probably the most patriotic game ever to come out of Japan, and it's not in a sarcastic fashion. President Wilson constantly yells about 'Justice always prevailing over evil" and has an almost inexhaustible warehouse of beatings and bad one-liners to dish out. I can tell that this game was made for me, if only I could play it..

Day 6: A game character I find annoying:

Mr. X from Lego Stunt Rally

 

Lego Stunt Rally is a game that is all about building fun tracks and racing on them from an isometric perspective. As you can imagine, you'd probably spend a lot of time in the track creator. Considering that the game is made for a younger audience, the game's creators would probably need a guide to remind the player what each track piece does EVERYTIME YOU HOVER YOUR MOUSE OVER IT. And that is Mr. X.

There was an option to toggle him off after you'd basically memorized the function of every track piece and didn't need his directions anymore. It didn't really help, because every fifteen or so minutes, he'd pop in to remind you how to turn his hints on again.

He's kind of the epitome of "Stop Helping Me".
