E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. This game is infamous for being horrible and believed to have been buried in a landfill. So, how bad is it? It's bad. End of review. Just kidding, let us take a closer look, shall we?
Upon starting you see a title with E.T.'s face. Pressing start will bring you to a cutscene of E.T. landing in a forest in a tiny purple spaceship, then the ship ditches him. I guess it did not want to be in this horrible game. I don't blame it. You can move in 8 directions and pressing the fire button while walking will make you run. BUT there is a counter on the bottom that starts at 9999 and decreases when you walk, and faster when you run.
On each screen, you will see that they are half filled with holes. Going into these holes will let you move left and right only, and you can't run. I guess E.T. has problems with his legs in giant craters. And you have to go in these holes. "Why?" you ask? To find pieces for a phone to "phone home". HUEHAHUHUEAHUAH! Not funny. There are only 3 phone pieces. But to complicate matters, there is an agent and scientist who captures you and takes you to a building. That is it. But they can take your phone pieces away!
You can also find flowers in the holes. They don't seem to do anything but bloom when you press the fire button on them. Oh, and I did not even explain how to get out of the holes. You press the fire button and hold "up" on the joystick. This drains your "energy" as well. If you lose all your energy, E.T. will be revived by whatshisface.
You can refill your "energy" by eating reeses pieces. I'm not kidding! You find them as dots on the ground and eat them by standing still and pressing the fire button. But this has to be done when no icons are on the top of the screen. Icons? Yes, there are several of them. There are arrows that teleport you to the screen in that direction, a thing that calls whatshisface but it does not seem to do anything but take your reeses pieces, a question mark that shows where a telephone piece is, and a alien thing that you use to call the mothership when you have collected all 3 phone pieces.
When you call the mothership, you must wait and it will appear on the forest screen where you started. A cutscene plays where E.T. flies away and you see whatshisface running laps around his house. Wat.
Graphics: They are pretty nice. E.T. look pretty good and so does the detector, scientist, and whatshisface.
Sound: just your stepping and beeping whistle as you fall into a hole. Not much.
Addictiveness: Only if you are interested play it.
Overall, this is a horrible game. It is okay to play, but just as a collectors item. Not really something to play on a daily basis.
