Today was the first time I played "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!" and before when I first learned we had to play this game, I was nervous. After playing the game for thirty minutes today, I can see why I was so nervous in the first place. When the actual shooting at Columbine high school took place, I was only 9 years old so I've never really known too much about it. After playing the game for a little bit, I found the gameplay experience to be a bit cheezy. From what I understand, the game was made using RPG Maker and I recently met a guy who knows one of the people who made the game, so I thought that was interesting.
Anyway, the game's music was pretty neat, all things considered, but I thought the dialogue between the two characters was weird, disturbing, and upsetting. Also, the game really reminded me of Pokémon, mainly because of the graphics and sprites, but I suppose that was to be expected... I only got as far as the Rebel Hill waiting scene because I kept getting caught in the hall on the way to the cafeteria where I was supposed to set up the bombs. I got very frustrated because it took me forever to figure out that the security cameras were security cameras (they looked like crumpled garbage to me). But the characters made me mad because to me, they're just bitchy little girls who can't handle life. Hopefully tomorrow will be more fun since I had no combat to play with.
