If it wasn’t for a friend of mine’s obsession with Mortal Kombat, I probably wouldn’t have given War Gods a second look. But he rented it one weekend and brought it over, because it was hyped as being a bigger, badder, and bloodier version game. Now I wake up every morning thankful that the experience is over.
The game was so bad that I don’t remember that much about it. I’m pretty sure it’s my brain’s selectively blocking out the atrocious game to save my sanity.
The story? I don’t remember and can’t be bothered to look it up. You just need to know that there is a variety of fighters all trying to pummel each other to death for an unknown reason. Then they get to perform progressively more ludicrous ‘finishing moves’.
Play control was horrible. The game looked like someone vomited on my TV. The characters and story were completely ridiculous. I’m sure there were some reasons to like this game buried in there somewhere, but I was unable to unearth them.
