Hobo 4 Total War Game Review

Review: Hobo 4 Total War

“Edit: after doing my review I've seen that Hobo 4 Total War actually came out in 2010. It was just recently uploaded on newgrounds the time of this review, so I thought it was a new title. My bad, but I will eventually review the newest title in this series in the near future. Thanks for  following intrawebzgaming guys :). “

Hobo 4 Total war is a vulgar and fun as hell beat-em up fighting game. I love these types of games, which with some of my favorites being the “Streets of Rage” and “Double Dragon” series. The main character Hobo has a very unique type of fighting style that I don’t think I've ever seen before. I guess you could call it nastybodyfluid style type of martial arts.

The story here picks up after Hobo 3. The entire world sees Hobo as a public menace and wants him dead. The government calls in the army to take Hobo out by any means necessary. The army is packing guns, grenades, rocket launches, helicopters, and tanks to rid the world of this walking puking, pooping, and plain old nasty plague. Hobo is not intimidated in the least bit, and is ready for anything and will kill anybody by using his unique gifts.

poop cannon FIRE!!!

The art style is cartoon and comical, sort in the same line as Alien Hominid only more obscene and vulgar. It doesn't hold back at all when it comes to violence and obscene images. Enemies spurt blood from there face, when you hit and shoot them. When Hobo uses his combos such as puking and pooping, it is not just a little bit of poop. He completely covers his enemies and you literately see them covered in kaka. It had me laughing my butt off the first time I performed one these combos. If you’re offended easily I would suggest you not play this game, as Hobo's whole arsenal of moves are nasty.  

Haha look at Hobo's face he looks so pleased with himself.

The game play is extremely addicting. I love beat-em ups and this one just has so much going for it. Hobo has 15 different combos he can perform, so fighting enemies never gets redundant or boring. I’ll be fighting a group of three and then decide I want to use my eyeballs to knock em around, and then finish em off by pissing on them HAHAHA. It’s just plain awesome. The pooping and puking attacks are very good ranged attacks, where you can flee to the end of the screen and hit your enemies with for max damage from afar. The only thing your really need to watch out for is soldiers with guns and grenades. Generally I can take them out if there is only one, however if two get to opposite sides of the screen and get you in the middle it can give you a lot of trouble, and they tend to do a lot of damage. The only sad thing is that it is pretty short, but there are 3 other titles to play, so that's totally forgivable.  Hobo 4 Total War is just a lot of fun and ends on cliff hanger, so I’m sure there will be another installment coming at us.

I’m giving Hobo 4 Total War 5 poop covered soldiers out of 5

“HAHAHAHA I just crapped all over that guy he looks so pissed … wait I think I’ll do that next”

OVERALL SCORE: 5

The Final Boss Game Review

Review: The Final Boss
 

Remember fast pace end bosses from old side scrolling games such as Sonic, Megaman, and Gun Star Heroes? Well here’s a game that takes everything else out and just gives us that epic conclusion without anything else.

It does in a way so perfect. It starts just like an end game situation would. It’s the final level you conquered it all and the only thing that stands in your way is the main villain with his last doomsday device. You have no more lives, no more continues, and your health is 0. If you take one hit you’re gone, game over.

The visuals are classic old-school. The sprite work looks like a classic Genesis or SNES title. The background this epic, the fight is taking place in what looks like a base of an evil organization. The main character kinda resembles Megaman a robotic warrior type, and the machine is huge and intimidating.

Oh Crap don't die don't die :o

The score is heavy metal which I’m usually not that fond of, but here it works. It’s the last level and the last boss all hell has broken loose.  You need this music to amp you up to release your inner gamer at 110% to beat this and you’re going to need it to win. In this instance I love heavy metal and I’m ready to win.

Now I’d like to tell you I played this game once and won, but I didn’t. Like an old Nintendo era game its hard. You have to memorize its pattern if you’re going to win and I can’t do that on the first several play throughs.

The game play is fun as hell. The boss reminds me of an end boss on gun star heroes for the Sega Genesis. You can change gravity to the floor and to the ceiling to avoid the enemy machine projectiles while you shower the enemy with your laser canon. After each section of the machine you defeat, the boss changes his strategy and pattern and you have to adapt fast. As it goes on it gets faster and way harder. I’m a sucker for boss battles like this. It’s my favorite way to end a video game.

If you’re a fan old classic side scrollers than you will love this game. It recapture gaming from my youth so I got to rate it high.

I’m giving The Final Boss 4 super mega cannons out of 5

“I GOT THIS I GOT THIS … YES EAT IT EVIL I BEAT YOU”

Aqua Boy Game Review

Review: Aqua Boy

Grab your scuba gear because were diving in to fantastic underwater adventure that is Aqua Boy.

Aqua Boy takes place in a wonderful underwater world where you explore and fight off all sorts of sea creatures. Each area you explore is different from the last and usually rewards you with an upgrade at the end. The order in which you should do the areas is unclear, so it’s not uncommon that you will get to an area where you will be blocked and then learn that you need to explore to find an item that will let you through. The game is great fun and of high quality which proves you don’t have to spend money to have a good game experience.

The story involves the main character Aqua Boy who is on a journey with his monkey sidekick named Albert on a quest for the Helm of Pathandor, which lays in underwater ruins. Aqua Boy has a special diving suit which supplies him with all the air he needs without the need of oxygen tanks. For some reason their submarine crashed, and when Aqua Boy came to Albert was gone. Aqua Boy then later learns Albert has betrayed him and intends to use the helm for his own evil intentions. It’s up to Aqua Boy to find Albert his old friend and end his evil ways.The story only gets better as you go on. Albert has somehow got everything that lives in ocean on his side, so naturally every creature wants you dead. All for except a few NPCs that help you along the way by letting you know when item upgrades are near. The enemies are great and the mini bosses are a lot of fun. The game is broken into 3 stages with a very short tutorial stage in the beginning that explains controls and items.

The graphics are nice. Aqua Boy’s look is simple. He himself is just a boy with orange diving suit and clear helmet. Even though the look isn't eye popping, the game is big with many areas and colorful enemies. It works and has a nice charm and appeal.

The game play is awesome! I just love this game. The controls are excellent. When fighting creatures that shoot projectiles, you can just swim circles around them and own them. Aqua Boy handles great. He can swim in 8 directions in a fluent speed. He also shoots in all directions with long range and has a burst shot when weapon meter is full. Never once did I blame the game when taking a hit, it was my own fault and not because Aqua Boy wouldn't move his aqua butt. The game is full of upgrades (heart containers, bigger charge, stronger weapon, bomb, teleport gem, and many more). To use items in the game you have a charge meter that deplenishes when using an item, but will find upgrades for it later on. The game is very expansive it took me little over hour to get through and I know I missed a few power-ups along the way. The in game map is excellent. Rooms you haven’t been through yet flash, so you never feel lost at all. A lot of paths end in a dead-end but a teleport gem was put in that warps you back to the begging of the stage, so no backtracking ( I hate backtracking with a passion).  

Aqua Boy is a great game. I would have no issues of throwing down

$15-$20 to have a longer version on my 3DS with 12 more stages. I hope there will be more adventures with him in the near future.

I’m going to give Aqua Boy 5 rare gems of 5

“Never Trust Monkeys AB … didn't you see planet of the apes?"

I also Threw poop at you while you were passedout :P

OVERALL SCORE: 5
