The Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy description
One night, one nerd-geek decided once again to play your favorite computer game. It was so because it was Liquidam - hero Blaster and Energy Shield, defender of the downtrodden earthlings, then and other “Yang”. In short, it has become what he never was destined to become in real life. In this day Geekwad again roamed the Universe in search of adventure and glory. And adventure is not long in coming: Cybergeek - vicious DoppelgangeR of our hero - kidnapped by king Wacky and boarded the spaceship of the same name. For greater reliability, he imprisoned the king in a big glass jar with a combination lock, and under the cover hid... explosive device! Now any attempt to rescue the king or the crew would be a disaster!
It seems that this time good will lose. Sure even Cybergeek, and so it is with undisguised smile gives our hero a tiny chance to save the king he will tell Liquado correct code for the lock, if he... beat his scores in five different video games! Challenge accepted, and our hero begins to actively stretch the joints of the hands, ready to the most absurd feats in his life.
What is the Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy? In short - a collection of five arcade mini-games. There is also a small plot and a few talkative characters.
You can either play Phlegmings or play a Space Exploration Trivia game to get clues as to how to crack the code. Phlegmings: intro Phlegmings: Make sure the lil boogers don't touch you! Meet Isacc. You can either play Grogger or his Science Fiction Trivia game.
But the main feature of this game is that it is imbued with humour and many parodies. Needless to say that the Intro in The Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy suspiciously similar to the famous introduction from the movie "Star Wars"?. But in this "salad" is still a parody mini-games, and funny characters, and humorous dialogue... the developers have not forgotten even about the options in the game menu: the classic button "Boss key" button was added "Hate my Boss key". About what happens when the button is clicked, I'd take the fifth.
About the mini-games, I think, worth telling in detail.
Phlegmings. You are an astronaut. Do you love Golf and don't like the alien infection. By order of the authorities you have been sent to the planet Phlegm to destroy it all Flamingos - funny little yellow-green alien. This is the best fit your favorite ksushechka. Despite its harmless appearance, with Flamingly need to be very careful: they like to cling to suit our hero, and if the number of stuck Flamingos will be equal to three, our astronaut immediately "spread" into a thousand pieces.
Despite its name, the gameplay more like a Joust than Lemmings.
Grogger. Original variation on the theme of immortal Frogger'a. In this game you control a waitress in space "roadside" cafe. Your task - to relate a specific food ordered specific drivers of starships. Traditional road with cars in Grogger'e was replaced on the road with monsters, aliens and crazy pedestrians. And the river with the logs turned into bottomless space, in which all sorts of floating debris.
Earth Last!. Alien and evil is trying to pollute our Land with their waste. Armed with a giant bucket, you enter into an unequal battle with the space debris and those who decided to clutter up our planet. In this side-scrolling'the howling of the game you are driving a bucket/jar/paper bag, must collect all the garbage that is flying toward our planet. With each new level becomes garbage more and he begins to fall much faster.
Space Solicitors. Witty parody of the famous game Space Invaders. Poor old woman cries out for help: she was not allowed to live in peace all kinds of beggars who daily literally besieged her house with annoying requests. You decide to help the poor woman. Armed with coins, you start throwing quarters in the boy scouts, salesmen, saleswomen of the cosmetics and other uninvited guests, who orderly close to the house the old lady.
Beefender. There once was a rancher. And he had cows. And cows he had many. He lived, therefore, do not grieve, but one late night with a starry sky down hordes of space cows! Their commander Saddam Hussein of Holstein - almost immediately contacted the rancher and said that they came to planet Earth to put an end to the brutal exploitation of the great horned people. And they decided to start with his ranch. Cows are everything in the life of a lonely cowboy. So he quickly built a flying machine (more like a broom) and entered a fierce battle with the bellowed threat.
Fun game which, of course, is a parody of the arcade shooter Defender.
In addition to the five full-fledged mini-games in The Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy there is the so-called Trivia, or quiz. Each character (except the main villain), you can test your knowledge of sci-Fi literature, films and TV series, astronomy, etc., etc.
Summary: the game to set the mood, to relax and to have fun. Funny characters, humor (though sometimes quite black), and numerous parodies - it all adds to the Treasury of the game extra points. Unfortunately, the dialogue in the game is not voiced (except "Take me to the bridge" - catchphrase of our hero), but the game well-matched sound effects. And the music in The Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy is also very nice.
