"Pretty good"

submission: Itchy & Scratchy 1

date: May 10, 2003

When you do a fan version of anything, it's undoubtedly going to be compared to the original stuff. In this case, you did the graphics well. The animation was pretty good. The worst part was the sound. There was sound, that's true, but that's where the good stuff ends. One sound sounded like you recorded it off the tv speaker, and if you didn't notice, Itchy and Scratchy always has music playing in the background. There was too much silence in yours. Silence, silence, sound clip, silence. You made this a while ago, so I'm sure whatever you make today will be better!

Score: 3

""What a great game!""

submission: Rebel

date: May 10, 2003

...is something I wouldn't say about this game. It's reminiscent of Scope Assault (here on NG) and that's not a good thing.

At least you've coded a solid little engine. Now you can continue by adding all the bells and whistles. Animation, more sound, speeding up the movement of the crosshair, etc. I'd recommend leaving the gun either at the bottom of the screen (moving a roudn only a little) or totally offscreen, because it's slow even on my super computer.

Contrary to what others might say, you need to add a LOT more to this for it to be awesome. It's a good start though.

Score: 8

"Great as usual"

submission: Retarded Animal Babies 3

date: May 7, 2003

I still like RAB1 the most. Two was just playing to the crowd (not that that's so bad) and this one had a story, so that upped the score. The first movie was just true expression of everything you couldn't do at work. These later ones are made for the NewGrounds crowd, but since that's where you are, it's not bad. I think you could be funnier if you jsut let the NewGrounds thing go though.

Score: 6

"Yes, not bad"

submission: More AlienSHIT

date: May 5, 2003

Not bad indeed. Definitely put in more time (non-generic sound fx, a story) and you'll have some really good stuff. Top 5 Good stuff.

Score: 1

"Why"

submission: wwud for klondike bar?

date: May 5, 2003

Why would you take an idea that's already been done before, do it very badly, and upload it? You didn't take enough time to record the voices with any decent quality. There was no real animation. I usually tell people to keep trying, but in your case, you don't even show any effort or cared about the movie at all, so just stop making movies.

Score: 1

"Don't feel bad"

submission: Fly Over

date: May 5, 2003

It took 3 people to make that crap. Tween this, and draw over the last frame that. I see SMOE remnance of skill in there. Just take your time. Bad bad bad bad blam.

Score: 2

"Beta?"

submission: GTA 3 beta 1.1

date: April 30, 2003

This is no beta. It's a pre-alpha. Betas are usually nearing completion and need testing and may be missing some features, but they aren't simple little two scene things that are about 2% done.

People think I'm too harsh in my reviews but they only disagree. I'm always want the best work and give constructive criticism. With that said, this game needs a lot of work. It's very linear. One reason why GTA3 is so great is that it's totaly non-linear. Your GTA3: super linear. You must click this. You must click that. The uzi only has one bullet and it's suddenly useless.

Don't use the GTA3 brand. Also, don't use other games' textures. That head texture you have was made for wrapping around a 3d model. Don't steal.

If you do use the flat body and rotate it, I think that's fine. It's a nice little style if you remain consistent. Just make the weapons realistic, slightly (more bullets). The big thing to change is to make multiple paths, otherwise, the player is just clicking around until the little arrow appears so they can move on.

Score: 6

"Not bad."

submission: Ricky and The Red Ball

date: April 23, 2003

Proof that small files can still be amusing. It's too bad you think the sound might be half-assed because audio would have improved it, even some simple child-like music.

Score: 6

"Bleah."

submission: Arrogancy: Chapter 4

date: April 11, 2003

How many people loved the movies Final Fantasy: the Spirit Within, the Lost In Space movie, or Waterworld? All had tons of eye candy, and none of them are good movies. Why, why.....hmmm... they all lacked story!

It's the same with the Arrogancy series and this installment in particular. "No story" doesn't mean an absence of story, but the absence of a good story. Cocky (similar) characters with lots of bravado isn't good.

I like to say it had awesome graphics/animation, at least, to hold it up, but it didn't. The animation was good. The style was well defined, but it wasn't unique, kinda bland. And hey, I like anime. I just don't like pointless action sequences (yes, I watched the other parts first).

Get some help with the story, and please get some help with the voice acting. That only made it worse. Call me the Simon Cowell of Flash movies, but I give it a "6 out of 10, so what."

Score: 3

"Meh."

submission: Just a day in the city

date: April 9, 2003

No one is forcing you to submit a movie before it's done. Take your time and don't submit unfinished work unless you truely feel it represents the finished product.

With that said, it was looking like a short you'd see on Sesame Street back in the day, what with the character grunting and hmmming. That is, until the end. It was all right.
