There might be an interesting story in here somewhere, but poor dialogue translation from the original Russian and cheesy dialogue (you'll hear "Damn aliens!" and comments about being a "freak" every couple of minutes during combat) make it hard to follow the plot. Then, you're all buddy-buddy with the humans against the aliens. One moment, you're being coddled by human soldiers battling the aliens the next, you're fighting both the humans and the aliens. "Huh?" moments are dotted throughout the story. One of the most interesting aspects of MorphX is that the tough, tattooed protagonist is slowly transforming into an alien (arm first.) Nothing is explained very well, though.
As the game begins, you're on the run from this treatment and trying to escape some kind of alien base in the ruins of the city. All that's left is a smoking ruin-even good old Moscow-where you and other people are being infected with some sort of virus that morphs people into insectoid ETs. That clip sets the stage for the single-player campaign (the only mode of play available), which deals with the apocalyptic aftereffects of nasty aliens destroying the planet. You know you're in trouble right at the opening cutscene, which is a dated piece of work loaded with some of the worst acting this side of a Mexican soap opera. One tiny spoiler-you don't look like this when the game begins. So what starts out as an interesting twist on the standard console shooter soon turns into an annoying experience. All of the intriguing ideas are buried under huge problems with things like spectacularly hard difficulty in the early going, confusing level design, and spread-out save points.
Russian developer Buka Entertainment's shoot-'em-up makes some good use of this interesting blend of sources, but the whole thing falls apart due to a ton of design flaws and visual shortcomings that make the game look like something from the PlayStation 2 era.
Morphx xbox 360 review movie#
The different ve.If you were to cross a third-person shooter with the movie District 9, you might get MorphX. I’ve mostly been playing split screen, haven’t tried 4 player yet, but 2 works just fine. It’s not overly deep, but adds a nice element of customization if your favorite character is too slow by default. The characters have a progression element although it’s not hard to level them up, and once you have you can prioritize speed, handling, acceleration, etc. On the easy difficulty you can get by with limited racing/kart experience and without having to drift or aim that well, and at higher difficulty you can showcase your skills (or get punished for drifting off course hehe). I don’t feel like it benefits much from the extra horsepower, but overall it’s a good experience… I had one lock up in 10 or so hours of playing, otherwise it’s been rock solid.There’s plenty of content and play modes, lots to unlock, and it’s very accessible.
Morphx xbox 360 review how to#
Getting multiple accounts signed in is a little bit of a hassle, as is figuring out how to change settings for that player (must be in a race), but it’s not too bad with a quick Google search.
While you can tell it’s an Xbox 360 game, the graphics hold up well and the performance and load times are fine. It heavily borrows some elements, while introducing enough new concepts to (almost) have its own identity. In my opinion, it actually competes fairly well with the ‘Kart franchise, and is a blast to play. I wanted something akin to Mario Kart to play on My Xbox One X, so I ordered this hoping it would at least be a playable clone.
