Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a movie made in 1974 and has gotten a game based on the movie nearly a decade later in 1983. The game is addicting but that does not compensate for all the problems of the game.

GRAPHICS: The graphics are mediocre. The chainsaw is apparently the killers arm X_X. The board looks nothing like Texas, and I know this because I've been to Texas. Plus the scenery is random. I have one good thing about the graphics and that is that when you run out of fuel 3 times. The game ends and you will see a chick kicking the killer in the butt LOL. What a good ending, I asked myself why that was there but it gives plenty of entertainment value.

SOUND: Like the graphics the sound is lame. When one of the victims scream it gives of an awful ear piercing beep, and when you kill a victim it gives off this strange sound.

ADDICTIVENESS: Everything about this game sucks. However it is very addicting and satisfying to kill the victims. The game's not very good for trying to get a high score because you will always get stuck in obstacles and the victims apparently move left and right at the speed of light making it hard for you to kill the enemy. This does not have to do with the addictiveness but I am just laying out the facts.

DEPTH: A lame board and only one game variation make this game low in variety. Its just the same thing the entire time.

DIFFICULTY: This game is very easy. The only two things hard about it are.

1: The victims can move left and right real quickly so it's only luck that you will actually kill a victim.

2: You might get stuck in obstacles quite often.

OVERALL RATING 4.7 X_X

This game is pretty fun. You are actually controlling the bad guy this time. Which you don't see in games today. The Atari effects really do suck, but that's the 1970s for you.
