Rip corey haim, and my review of double switch. SuperCrash64
Graphics: 5/10There's too many cons for the graphics compartment for this rating to be undesired.
Cons:
1) They implemented and reused a lot of cut scenes from act 1 to 3. This makes the game repetitive already in that sense, and if it wasn't bad enough; you can't even watch the cut scenes because you got to be constantly trapping the bad guys, so every second you waste, another enemy escapes.
2) The color quality is a bit poor. I think the game could've had some color improvements with the Sega CD, but instead we are left with somewhat of a grainy looking game. The grainy color palette is noticeable as soon as you start the game, and it makes the graphics of the game look a bit faded and washed out.
Sound: 9/10The sound quality is very good.
You can hear how clear the voices are, and it's also a big plus that you have actual good actors in this game unlike Night Trap.
However some parts during the cut scenes are pretty laughable and distracting, for instance you'll hear the band with Jeff in it saying"I'm crying at the moon". No I'm not making this up, the lead singer actually says that.
The soundtrack is also really good as well; it sounds like something you'd hear in a creepy pasta.
I just wish the game would actually have some variety because like the cut scenes, this game reuses a number of songs during throughout the games acts.
Addictiveness: 6/10This game basically requires you to be addicted and replay it to beat it.
The game play is really what just frustrates me enough to play it: You gotta trap the random-looking guys, you gotta make sure you get the code numbers, you have to let some guys escape due to another main character being in trouble, and that's not even counting how many people will try to cut off the power box during the game. It's just a pain and makes the game a chore to play.
If I wasn't so frustrated, I'd wouldn't bother continue playing it.
Story: 7/10 The story also ties in with the game's creepy pasta style of graphics and sound, as there's a lot of mystery and stuff you'll found out about each of the characters and items through out the game via watching the cut scenes.
The story starts out as you getting called via the phone lines by Eddy, Eddy tells you that the security system is failing and that he got locked down in the basement and his access to the security system was cut-off.
There's also multiple plot twist through out the game that you wouldn't see coming.
For instance: Did you know the guy by the name of "Wild Handyman" is actually Eddy's dad?
Depth: 5/10They tried to add a whole lot of depth with reusing the cut scenes so you keep trapping guys in between, but thanks to the flaws mentioned earlier it simply doesn't work. The game requires too much multitasking for someone to 100% know what happens, and if you ask me I'd rather have them take out the reused cut scenes.
This game takes a while to beat because it requires you to replay it, use your memory to trap all of the bad guys, and protect the good people whom are staying at the building.
Difficulty: 8/10Like I said, this game has a lot of multitasking to do. You can't really get a perfect run without letting somebody escape. There's also multiple ways you can lose in this game:
1) If one of the good guys get captured or killed.
2) You keep missing all the bad guys.
3) Don't get the code numbers.
4) You get cut off via phone-lines or power box.
The main problem for me is they tried implementing credits in this game, so you can only have up to 4 continues if you keep failing to catch the right people at the right time.
Overall: 6.0It was a decent attempt at kind of realistic game but there's too many flaws within the game play and graphical sections that leave your head riddled with questions.
If the flaws were tweaked then I'd say this game is pretty good, and if your curious by all means then go ahead and give it a shot.

Double Switch Gamer Review realplayer109
Double Switch will have you tapping every second of the game, and fast timing is needed!
Gameplay 8/10 (Not rated by Viz zed)
It's like watching a movie and interacting at times. Trapping is nearly
impossible until you know how to do it! Unlike Night Trap, you have to
trap almost every enemy to win, which is a BIG downfall with this game.
The game is split up into 3 stages and has a save point which makes up for the downfall, each
stage becomes harder than the last one. Like I said with Night Trap, get
out a pen and paper and dot the times down. This game is one of the hardest
to beat games on the Sega CD and all time. Beating this game would be very
hard.
Graphics 10/10
I don't know what to say, these graphics are awesome! A nice, clear movie. Even in
standard definition! The trap power levels look a lot better than Night Trap's colour
codes. It even says the trap names under the power levels, which makes catching
the crooks a lot easier! The house layout is what a house should look like unklike
Night Trap with the house layout being quite big for the game. But bigger is better,
right?
Sound 9/10
I mean, the voices in this game are very high quality, it doubles other Sega CD's game
sounds. Even Eddie screaming at you when you lose is quite funny. I would plug in headphones
for this game. But then the music doesn't sound right, because there's not a LOT of it. This game
could do with some in game music when you are about to lose, and when your playing the game,
this game could do a lot better in that category.
Addictiveness
Note : This game has the same addictiveness as Night Trap,
this is why I'm not including it here.
Story 10/10
(Correct the story in the comments if I'm wrong on some bits! Not sure about the story!)
The story is that Eddie is trapped in his basement because he forgot his code for the
building, and weird people are coming in to the house and trying to turn off the power,
while this is happening, the band are rehearsing for a gig or something. A very neat
and unique story, I wish this was executed just as well. I mean Eddie at the beginning didn't
explain the story very well. If they made the rest of the video very good why couldn't they do it
at the beginning?
Depth
Note : Again, same as Night Trap, just different scores.
Difficulty 10/10
God, what do I have to say here. You will be crying for every stupid mistake you make. The game
is nearly impossible, like, you have a 99% chance of losing on your first try at the game, sure,
newbies on any game might lose a life or two. But this game will drive your patience up the wall!
I mean seriously, this game rocks the hardest game category, along with Night Trap coming in after
it! Don't even blink on this game. Any hesitation can make you lose!
Overall 9.5/10
Like Night Trap, this game is for hardcore people only, and if you do like a challenge, try this game!
There's not a lot of replay value in this game, its the same scenes over and over! Overall, I give this
game a 9.5/10 because I think that everything is challenging and makes you want to play again!
See you tomorrow for more reviews, and friend request me if you can!

DOUBLE SWITCH rebelyell
This game will test your finger speed. Get ready to be sucked in to a teenage Cory Heins B movie. The cast is great with actors like R Lee Emrey as the goofy handyman. Brook McCarter, who you might have seen as a teenage vampire on Lost boys. OK enough of the cast your job is to help Eddie defend his home. As you sit traps and spring them on the bad guys. The further you get the more and faster they will come.
GRAPHICS- It's like a teenager took over your computer and asked for help. It's clear and movie quality.
SOUND- The sound is like watching a cartoon with bangs and screams, put in at the right time it's perfectly put together for the scene.
ADDICTIVENESS- This game will have you going back for more. You will lose hours trying to trap the bad guys. Ever time you think you remember where they break in from they change up. So if your going to play this game grab the red bull, and make it a weekend.
STORY- it's a good story a boy named Eddie is trapped he hacks your computer for help,[ see he has all these traps sit up that you now control. You need to find the code to get Eddie out and sit off the traps to get the bad guys.
DIFFICULTY- This games hard from the start and just gets harder. It will take you forever to pass lv 1 but you'll love ever second of it. As you get better sitting and springing traps and passing boards you'll feel like your on top of the world. This is one of sega cd games you'll ever play.
