Universal Interactive Studios RLH - Run Like Hell X Box Action Review

Overall Rating
 3 of 5

Price Paid:  $25.00

Summary:
RLH: Not All Bad!

Would I recomend this game as a buy? I would at about $12. Other than that I would say if you like Alien type sci-fi and you can't get enough of it , then you should give it a rent.

Summary:
This game is far better than what some reviewers will have you think. The graphics offer detailed textures and models. Everything is realistically presented in the sense that everything is true to the game world. There are games that have game worlds with textures that have a look closer to the real world, but not by much. Game developers will continuously strive to bridge that gap. But some will also use their artistic freedoms to create Disney style-animated graphics. RLH has a very beautifully rendered game world in this regard.

The sound and voice acting was beautifully done. Some reviewers have tried to deny this, which I find astonishing.

The story is also very good. Some reviewers have pooh-poohed this by saying it is a rip-off from every Sci-Fi movie since the late 70s. I find this irrelevant and don’t understand this argument. What difference does it make whether you play this game or a game officially based on any of the Sci-Fi movies produced since the 70’s? If the story is good, that should suffice, especially to new audiences to the genre.

Summary:
The game is immersive and entertaining simply because it has a good storyline and in-game movies with good voice-acting that keep you wanting to know how the story ends. In-game movies using the in-game engine, are well done and pretty to watch.

You meet many different variations of the alien race:

Amalgamator - The master Aliens behind the attack. They are intelligent but not very strong.
Brutes - Big monsters. Run for your life.
Elites - have two legs two long arms and no head. They are telepathic and lead the others with mind control. They can have human heads from their victims assimilating their knowledge and personality. They can lure you into thinking that certain people are still alive to lure you.
Cutters - Ugly fast aliens with sharp teeth like taken out of the movie aliens.
Cloaked Cutters - Invisible cutters. Really creepy.
Drones - Spiders with human heads. Really, really creepy.
Scouts - Shaped like scorpions with alien heads and sharp teeth.
Snipers - run on two feet but have multiple legs for climbing and hanging from any surface. They fire bolts of plasma at you from far away.

Summary:
This a good game.....for skeet shooting. And I mean throwing the disc in the air and shooting it for the more stupid reader out there. I just know some kid would read that and think "What a dumbass, he thinks Run Like Hell is about skeet shooting." Which, funnily enough, makes them the dumbass. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble only because I'd rather think of other things than this game. First, the story is on par with Mace Griffin for the most cliched storyline of the current generation of consoles. It's really boring, which is a shame since the voice actors are good. The graphics look like first generation PS2 and the enviroments are all drab slabs of grey and darker gray. But wait! I haven't even touched the gameplay, which is like an old Genesis action game where you ran in circles shooting everything. Whoo-hoo. So fun. Again, for the dumbasses, that's sarcasm that I fear you may not get. Sorry to talk down, it's just that by you simply reading a review for RLH, I have to assume you fall into the level of retard. Don't feel bad, I'm retarded too, I played this. Even if this game turns up someday for two dollars, it's not worth getting. It's not the money, it's just that this game will put you to sleep with it's pure averageness. (Is averageness a word?) Run Like Hell, indeed.
