Dreamcast Game Thoughts - part 11
Some games I just wonder how they got released because they suck so badly. Such is the case with Pen Pen Triicelon. In the game, you control a penguin that races down icy slopes...or do you? I can't control the stupid penguin. How does one get the stupid thing to go fast enough to actually compete with other players? I just bash into a wall while all the other penguins keep going on their merry way. And then there's the whole flapping thing. How do I do this to get enough speed to actually see the other players after I bash into a wall? Did they just forget playtesting all together and call it completed? This is one of the worst games I think I've ever played in my whole life. I know I mentioned Baseball for the Game Boy and Penny Racers for the N64. But man, this stupid game goes definitely in the top 3 for worst game I've ever played. I also tried POD Speedzone. This game you actually can control your racer (although you still come in last), but there is no time trial mode so no getting used to the tracks. In Pen Pen Tricelon, there are different tracks for time trial and racing, so again, you can't get used to the tracks before you fall out of contention by slamming into a wall. With crap games like Pen Pen, it's no wonder Infogrames bought Atari. Even then, that apparently couldn't save the company. Maybe if they playtested their games first, they would have survived.
