CID the Dummy (Nintendo Wii)

Oxygen Interactive, Twelve Interactive | Release: 30th April 2009
Review By: Straybolt | Posted: 28/04/2009
Final Word:
CID is one of those games that should never have seen the light of day. It's so bad I wouldn't even recommend it as a renter

Graphics

It's a 2d deal with a false 3d perspective and it doesn't work really well. The overall colour scheme seems to be grey with an extra dab of grey and some brown with poorly rendered backdrops and lack lustre graphics. You could take a packet of red sauce, brown sauce and mayonnaise and smear them on a tabletop to get the same effect for less of the cost too. The graphics for the characters aren't bad, however, by the time you start to look at that you've already been soured by everything else.

Animations

Yeah, these are pretty good; they're fluid enough and have a nice cartoonish quality with some of the character graphics. I can't really rag on the animations, its one thing that the developers got mostly right. So they must have hired someone who can animate worth a damn.

Sound

Uninspired audio serves to completely drown the game in a torrent of rough effects and beepy little twinkles that annoy the hell out of me.

Music

A looping soundtrack that loops way too quickly, it's jarring and pretty bad.

Dialogue/Voice

Bad script, if it's played for laughs then I'm afraid they missed the mark even if they were aiming through a 12x rifle scope at a barn with a 100foot bullseye on it that not even a Stormtrooper could miss. The voice acting is laughable and at times it sounded so bad that I was forced to turn the sound down and overdub with a faux Japanese accent. This actually improved the game and can be recommended for a lot of bad titles.

Multiplayer

No, and thankfully not. You wouldn't want to inflict this kind of game on anyone else. It should be banned under the Gamer's Geneva Convention or locked away in a room marked: Danger - Beware of the Man Eating Tiger. The game is so bad it ranks as pure shovel-ware.
