Sleeper hit....

When one thinks of Project Overkill, they think of "Loaded" automatically. Well, at least I do....
Both P.O. and Loaded were released about the same time so many years ago....both had loads of gore and blood....but the difference was....Project Overkill was the actual success of the two.
Sure, the controls take some getting used to, but this game is dang fun, period.
And its not just kill, kill, kill- you have a assortment of tasks to complete....yes, keys to find, to unlock doors....but still, there's something about this game that sucks you in.
The one thing I really can appreciate is that you can't go into a roomful of enemies guns-a-blazing....you're dead meat most of the time if you do that. You actually have to either pick off the enemies that you can see from far away, or let them come to you a few at a time. Most of the enemies are retarded, yes, and they just charge after you when they see you, but its super fun being bad-a$$ and mutilating everything that moves.

Graphics are pretty good for the time the game came out....it's like a supercharged Super Nintendo game....9 out of 10 in that department.

But graphics don't make the game, the fun factor does....and if you get used to the multi-directional control, you're looking at 10 out of 10 in the fun department. Sure, at first you'll scream and yell and wonder why you're shooting the wall instead of the jerk just northeast of you....but you'll get used to it.

Replay value- 10 out of 10....I still play this game....7 or 8 years after it came out....

Overall....9 out of 10. If you can nab this game at a good price, DO NOT pass it up!
