Agathain Sea Traders - By theprophet
Grade F Standard
-----
Introduction: The aim of this game, produced by the legendary prophet (aka theprophet..) is to sail around a virtual world, and trade and buy goods to earn money. A very original concept, which could have been good provided more time was put into it, and more user-playability was implemented.
Storyline: The storyline is virtually non-existant, although you're a ship sailing the virtual world to buy/sell goods. A disappointing score here, but is as fair as I can be. (2)
Gameplay: The gameplay actually retains some fun aspect to it, although it soon loses this liberty after a few minutes. It's interesting to see the whole system work it's magic like clockwork, but when you've bought and sold a few items, you begin to realise how dull this game actually is. The system is intriguing and as the author has mentioned can be modified to use for your own game, however this does not provide ample gameplay experience to warrent a better mark. (4)
Graphics: Now here's a plus, there are actually new graphics available, which range from good to poor in their detail and aesthetics. They've been used well, but could definatley have been of a much higher standard. They do however, suit the games purpose, and the map is fairly well done. Effort has been put in to actually revamping the entire interface, which is always a positive aspect. (6.5)
Audio: Once again midis were used for the games soundtracks which served their purpose respectfully, however nothing too brilliant was used and personally could have been picked much better. There were no new sounds however, which would have definatley added a nice touch to such a slow-paced GUI game. (5)
Conclusion: An interesting system, but not enough to stop the poor playability from wrecking every second that you play this game. A disappointing F.
