This is my review of what is probably the worst video game vizzed.com has to offer, Blues Brothers for the NES. Prepare yourself for what is probably the most difficult game for the NES and the worst for the system.
Graphics
I rate the graphics a 4/10. They look nice and the animations are okay but there are much better graphics on the system. The graphics are the best part of the game because everything else is just really bad.
Sound
I rate the sound a 3/10. It's just okay. It isn't that bad compared to the bad story, lack of addictiveness, and lack of depth, but this was made after games like Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros, which had amazing music.
Addictiveness
I rate the addictiveness a 0/10. This game is just terrible. It has almost no good qualities due to the extreme difficulty and awful story. On Vizzed.com, you can't even do anything because you can't move your partner at all so you can't scroll the screen. I can't see anyone wanting to play this game again. I can't even believe I even played this garbage even though it took only 5 minutes for me to come to my senses and stop playing the game.
Story
I rate the story a 1/10. The story sucks so much that it ruined the Blues Brothers reputation for years. You and your partner are stuck in a magic jukebox and have to get out. You have record disks as weapons that you have to use to kill things. This is where the game really falls apart. In the first few levels, you get tons of record disks but can't bring them all to the next level. Eventually, you start the factory levels, which start you off with no record disks and no way of getting any record disks for half of the level! That is insane! You can't go through half of a level without being able to kill anything! You will be a sitting duck! In one factory level, you have to fly on a supposedly friendly flying snake that tries to get you killed over and over again. And if you hit anything, it chucks you off it, killing you! You cant hit any walls, obstacles, etc. If you have the skill to actually beat the game, you get a picture of the Blues Brothers performing at a concert and that's it. The game starts over again.
Depth
I rate the depth a 0/10. This game is so bad, that despite all the hours you spend trying to beat it, there is no depth. It's just going through the same generic environment over and over again with slight changes. And there are so many plot holes! If the Blues Brothers are trying to escape the jukebox, why are they going into a jukebox at the end of every level? Why is the supposedly friendly flying snake trying to kill you? Those are a few examples that I thought of.
Difficulty
I rate the difficulty a 10/10 on the NES and an impossible/10 on Vizzed.com. On the NES, you can move around and actually progress, but it is extremely hard and extremely boring after the first 2 levels. On Vizzed.com, you can't do anything aside from shoot your record disks and walk a short distance. Nobody should have to deal with this horrible game! PLEASE REMOVE IT!!!
