"You are Tex McPhilip,
originally from Chicago. Up until this point your life has
been fairly uninteresting, so we won't go into it. In just
a moment you will awaken from a blackout. Little do you know,
this will be the beginning of a great adventure..."
Those are the opening words
to Tex McPhilip in Quest for the Papacy. The scene right after
this, having awoken from your blackout made me laugh for the
entire day. This opening goes down as one of my personal favourites
because it's just so damned odd and funny.
The story behind the game
is that you Tex McPhilip, have been given orders by the Virgin
Mary to become Pope. The only way to do this however, is to
kill all the competition. One can see how this game might
not be for everyone so if you are easily offended religiously
or find killing dogs not funny, then go play something else.
Now, as for the rest of
us, the gore level on this game is quite high. You will most
likely kill everyone that you come across in this game. And
you won't just kill them, you will then most likely do bad
things to their corpse. Sound like fun? Well it is.
The art is nice and consistent.
There are a few incidental animations thrown in to help animate
the scene, so it doesn't look so flat. The only real problem
I have with the art is that there isn't any hint as to what
part of the screen will take me to another location. It isn't
that much of a hassle, just check each side of the screen
to make sure you aren't missing a location.
The puzzles are... odd.
Like I said before they involve a lot of killing, but many
times the answer to a certain puzzle isn't always obvious.
So you may find yourself stumbling around for a little not
sure of what to do. However, it wasn't really that bad, because
I was able to finish the game easily enough.
This game is relatively
short. There are a good number of puzzles thrown in there
and the story is pretty bare bones, it seems that the creator
was making it up as he went along, but this isn't a point
against it. Just download both games and play them in succession
and you've got a great weekend already!
