This is my second review on an XBox 360 indie game for the day, and I really felt that I needed to bring this game to everybody's attention. This is a contender for one of the worst indie games I may have played on the glorious XBox 360 console, or ANY game I've played on Xbox 360. But before I begin I must note that I didn't spend the 80 Microsoft Points it takes to buy the game, oh no, because the demo is all you need.
This is Try Not to Fart. Otherwise known as Twister for your hands. It's an awkward game about being on a date, and holding in your farts, one of the stupidest video game concepts I may have seen in my entire life, except for the game where you're a giant chicken and you shoot lasers out of your eyes and kill town citizens, that makes this game look like a close second, well, with the exception of " Attack of the Mutant Penguins" which I don't really count as a video game, but some deranged drug induced dream set off by video game producers. But that's not my point here.
When you start playing, you think, this looks promising, with some < sarcasm> html tags added to your voice, because the game looks like South Park, just as if a 7 year old was the artist. There is little to no animation in the game, except for the gases that spew out of you when you're doing bad.
There are voices in this game, but the mouths don't move correctly, and they are always nonsensical things that just seem to be randomized to somehow go with a possible conversation that was never made. You'll hear things like ("This food is nice" "I'm a kinda guy that prefers action movies, not really romantic comedies" "Will that be cash or credit") one after the other, as if the game was pulling sentences out of a hat, and being forced to make into a sentence, it gets irritating if you care at all for the English language.
The controls, are all of your controls, and holding in different combinations of buttons to hold in your farts. You may think "That sounds easy" but it gets boring really quickly and your arms DO start to tire out after a while, which is why you shouldn't be holding so many buttons at the same time, applying the same amount of pressure for 15 seconds+ on 1-5 different buttons at the same time.
There is a redeeming factor, beating a level and seeing how many points you wrung out of this game.
It's overall a cosmetically damaged game that needed attention and more than the worlds greatest team of 8 year old video game designers with their parent acting as voices, but if you like this kind of thing, with potty humor and bad conversation, it's for you, but being the grammar nazi and perfectionist I am, I can't stand it.
That's all I have to say about this game.This is my second review on an XBox 360 indie game for the day, and I really felt that I needed to bring this game to everybody's attention.
