Kreed
If that old adage of if you can’t say anything good about something it’s better not to say anything at all is true then I have nothing to say about Kreed. This whole review can be summed up by saying that after about 8 hours of torture I finally had enough and ripped the CD out of my drive and broke it. I don’t think any game has ever managed to drive me to such violence.
It’s not even because Kreed is hard or frustrating or anything. With plenty of skill levels anyone should be able to play this one. The question is why on earth you would want to play such a tedious, boring and repetitive game when the genre is already overcrowded with so much better titles. The story, in case you are interested in it, involves the mysterious “Kreed” which lies behind some impenetrable barrier and which everyone is interested in. Your ship is attacked by aliens and damaged forcing you to escape to another ship and from there to an alien ship and eventually Kreed itself. Since all the voice overs are done by people with thick Russian accents reading the words, sounding like they had about a week’s worth of English training it’s kind of hard to fathom exactly what’s going on half the time. Your character sounds like a Russian version of Arnie and has trouble stringing two coherent words together. Pathetic as the voices are its unintentionally funny and just about the only entertainment I got out of the game. Starting on a dark and boring spaceship I was bored within five minutes with the unimaginative tedious environment. Finally finding a way off, I only ended up in another bigger ship looking much the same. Slogging through that only landed me on a dark and boring alien spaceship. It was about here that I seriously started worrying about my sanity. Showing unusual perseverance I got through this and was rewarded with a trip to a nearby planet or something. After about two minutes of seeing sky and daylight it was back into a dark and boring enemy base. It wasn't much longer after this that Kreed ended up in the recycle bin (literally and figuratively). The graphics in Kreed is well below average which probably explains all the darkness hiding everything. This would have been understandable if the game was meant to be scary or something but after seeing your first spastic enemy lurching around, fear is just about the last thing you’ll experience. Most of the enemy designs are a joke and the weapons just about all suck. There’s like one sad attempt at a vehicle which is so stupid it’s unbelievable. Even the way you have to use health vials is one big pain in the ass. I could go on and on about how bad this game is, but I don’t like urinating all over other people’s efforts. Suffice to say Kreed is probably one of the worse First Person Shooters I’ve ever had the misfortune of playing. Just avoid it and save yourself a lot of grief.
