Blade Sentinel
Author: Mihalis Georgostathis
Language: Quest
Genre: Superhero
Score: 3
What could have been a decent superhero game was plagued by a shallow
plot, bad spelling, terse descriptions, a terribly limited vocabulary, and
inconsistencies throughout the game. This was the first Quest game I
played, and even though I downloaded the most recent version of the Quest
player, "Blade Sentinel" still told me that it was out of date and some
things might not work properly. Was this why the entire experience was
basically fighting the game itself? The game seemed to recognize a dozen
verbs at most, and bringing up the help didn't give any clues as to what
they might be. My final decision to quit the game came as I faced off
against a cyborg and couldn't for the life of me figure out what I could
do next. Everything I tried met with the same confusion from Quest. And
without a walkthrough, that's the point where I called it quits.
