jonthomson's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[BatAndMouse 2]

Improvement over the last game

Better than the first Bat and Mouse - the clock power up helped a load, and the multiple levels and methods of doom added to the humour and fun. As someone stated, more powerups (perhaps a different sort for each level) would make this even better.

[Bat And Mouse]

Good short game

Great simple premise, fun to play, tricky after a while and great Benny Hill music. One that everyone can enjoy, although it lacks the addictiveness that some games here have.

[Scope Assault]

Decent for an older submission

The gameplay is a bit repetitive and dull, but it all works OK, looks fairly nice and could be fun if you want to try and improve your kill rate. As you say, it was made a long time ago, but it would have been nice if there was a couple of different levels or the bad guys shot back.

[WOT_II SpecOps]

Another great shooter

I don't think this was as good as the first - that was more difficult and had a better range of levels (no sniper rifles on this one), but this is another good shooter. Lots of terrorists to gun down, the same nice backdrops and good sound effects. Great fun to play.

[Duck Hunt (Game)]

Great reproduction

A very faithful reproduction to the original NES classic, although it's a lot harder to hit the ducks in this game than in real life. The dog killing spree is a handy addition too! Loads of violence, this game is 8-bit-ilicious!

[GT Flash's Tetris]

Tetris. Wow.

Consider yourself very lucky this passed judgement - there's already about 500 different versions of Tetris on NG, and most of those have sound and don't have graphical flaws (the blocks shouldn't all turn to blue once they reach the bottom of the screen). Do something original next time!

[Family Guy:Soundboard]

Good soundboard

Family Guy is a very good cartoon, and you've sampled a large number of sounds which are all good. Fun to play with, clearly Stewie's sounds are the best. By all means do another soundboard, don't know what, perhaps Futurama.

[Josh Bend Game]

Good game

Simple to play, but it's fun. Nice drawings, good music and lots of different weapons to play with. Better than a lot of point and click games I've seen on NG, this has some replay value. Good job.

[Like Jailbait?]

Legal or not? You decide

It's simple really - guess if they're legal. I've seen this sort of thing before but not as well as this. That FBI guy was pretty cool and had some great putdowns. I don't think it's the sort of thing I'd play more than a couple of times, once I've seen all the options, but it's good fun and will appeal to a wide section of the NG audience. There's plenty of scope for sequels as well!

[Ghost Motel 6]

Better than the last one

Another good Ghost Motel episode - lots of things to see and do, very interactive and with some nice background music. Graphics were similar to usual, nothing special but looking alright. This time, there's perhaps a bit too much to make a note of and the end goal is unclear, but it's fun to play the game and explore the various features. Nice job again.

Violet-AIM responds:

Thanks for the review jonthomson. I tried to make this one very interactive and let the viewers figure their way out. I wanted it to be a little harder since the previous one (# 5) seemed too easy.
