NOT A FUN GAME

This game was way to confusing and not very nice grapics. I was mad I bought this game sure wish i would of listened to the negative coments on this site. I was disappointed big time. The camera was situated in a weird place. This game was very hard to figure out and the plot and story line just wasn't that great. Save your money and buy a different dreamcast game.

Quality of Blue Stinger is summed up in its initials (B.S.)

I can honestly tell you that getting stung by scorpions until you turn blue is more fun than playing Blue Stinger.

This game is a complete, total waste of time. To list all the flaws in it would easily take up all the data storage facilities that amazon.com has, so I'll try to condense:

First, the story is ridiculous, so ridiculous in fact that calling it a 'story' is an abomination to the word. The game starts of with a ridiculous story (a meteor somehow causing a force shield around an island); takes place in absurd settings (an island with supermarkets that sell guns and missile launchers); and has Characters that are more shallow than a mud puddle composed of a single atom (A man actually named 'Dogs'? What were they thinking!?); all the while some angel-type being follows you around yet never helps and in fact becomes in impediment via clogging your field of vision in many a critical situation. The diologue is boring and repetitive - indeed the game would earn a second star from me if they installed a feature where a specific button could be pressed just to skip the talking. The entire plot consists of running around an island facility and performing stupid tasks, the ultimate goal of which is either to save a few idiotic survivors--who's general character is neither in-depth nor likeable--and to eventually 'find a way off the Island'. A third-person survival-type game where you fight monsters in order to get out of a place your trapped in...gee, where have I seen that oh-so 'original' type of plot before?

Another flaw is the gameplay - the entertainment value is easily outclassed by watching paint dry. Go here, get a key, use it to go get another key, which leads to a better key, yadda yadda yadda BORING! And everytime you kill an enemy they come right back as soon as you leave then re-enter the particular area where they were. This, in turn, causes you to either fight them with close range weapons--which takes longer and leaves a significant chance of you getting injured--or hit them with long range weapons, which uses up ammo. Lose health; go buy more health-regenerating items. Lose ammo; go buy more ammo. Such things take up a great deal of time. There is already enough running back and forth to begin with, but the tediousness of constantly having to get through the re-generating enemies just adds all the more to the immesurably high level of overall absurdity in Blue Stinger.

Then we have the challenge factor, which is perhaps the weakest point in the whole game. Don't get me wrong; just getting through the dreadfully repetitive go get that key and kill an enemy, go get this key and kill an enemy, repeat ad infinitum gameplay is a challenge of patience. But a challenge of skill is one thing Blue Stinger most assuredly is NOT. The enemies are predictable (and, might I add; so consistently identical looking and un-original) and can be defeated with great ease. Early on in the game you have adequate access to fantastically powerful weapons which make getting past enemies so easy that its obvious why the creators made them re-generative and densely dispersed. Virtually nothing in this game is difficult or challenging save for keeping your sanity by playing it.

... Don't buy it; check outResident Evil: Code Veronica if you want a good game.

... More like BlueSTINKER

This game just plain s****. Like all Resident Evil games and it's ilk. Your characters moonwalk around the levels trying to kill the baddies. Control is terrible, you can't quite do exactly what you want to do when you want to. Graphics are good, about the 50th percentile. Camera angles are the worst and hardest enemy in the game, you are constantly fighting them. Mouths move out of sync with words during the FMV sequences, like a bad Bruce Lee movie... You will laugh and you will cry, all because you made the mistake of shelling out $$$ on this.

The Critics Were Right This Time

This time, I have to say, "I wish I would have listened to the cridics." This game was totally overrated by the pros. I expected a fun game, with lots of action. But, I found it was hard for me to interact with the game because of the (not so good) control concept. Example: when using the look key "L", as soon as you release the "D" butten, the view springs back to the direction your facing. Which can seem like a "Tug of War" match (against the computer) when your trying to zero in on something you're not directly facing.
And I'm sorry, but the characters are dorky looking and that really has alot to do with taking the game serious. It has a strong plot and you've gotta be this goofy looking guy who can't even jump.
If it had controls like the "Tomb Raider" games and a plot more like the "Mario" or "Zelda" games, or mabye even "Double Dragon", I'd have given it 4-stars.

Didn't work

This game was a complete waste of time and money, don't even rent this game.I have to admit that the graphics had something going there, and that the enemies were original. I thought original meant that it had to be good, obviously nobody figured that out when they created these teenagers with four arms. The game is slow and time consuming,don't waste your time or finger energy.

Not worth it

Some people are saying "if you like Resident evil you will like this game" But ill tell all of you it is not true. For example, I love the RE series and i own every single one of them but i still think this game sux. For a game that is suppose to have 128bits, this games graphics are really horriblly done and give dreamcast a bad name. The controls in the game are just impossible. It can be a good game if they improved the graphics and the controls of the game. The characters you get to play walk and run around the place like they have a wedgy or something. The weapons in the game are kinda cool but no where near the RE series. This games puzzles are ok but sometimes you just dont have enogh clues and you just frustrated out of your mind about what to do next. Well if you considering to buy this game take it from me dont get it, i guarrentee that you will be happier buying another game.

Only its ability to float saves this game from the toilet

I would have had more fun with the $50 I spent on this game if I had burned it. Absolutly the worst game I have played on the Dreamcast. I found the "plot" (if that's what you want to call it) completely boring. There is no "run" button, which would be greatly apreciated considering how many times a character must back-track. Items are hard to find, like the medicine for the dying guy in the grovery store. Enemies come back after they die, causing you to buy more ammo. The harsh language used by Dogs is unnecessary and is only used to draw in older customers. Graphics are pretty, but are forgotten within five minutes. Only get this game if you find it on the ground and want to see what happens when you unleash the Dreamcast on a small group of amateur game designers.

it has bug's look out !
