This time AVGNSucks rants about the Nerds' second Review; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
"Like the last one, this was made in 2004 before James really had any idea what he was doing. This was meant to be the final video, why the hell wasn't it?!"
Maybe because people liked his reviews so much they kept asking for more.
"This whole time (2 mins 10sec) he just says how bad the game is. Doesn't give any reasons."
Well it isnt like this was his whole review he later gives reasons as to why this game is bad.
"He also said that pong was better. Well, of course, Pong is a great game. Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's bad."
I think that was James' whole point of bringing Pong into this. Beside James never says Pong is a bad game, he simply says that its better than Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
"Somewhere in there he mentioned McKids as a bad game, when it's actually really fun and had many creative ideas."
James never says Mckids is a bad game he says "they're (Mckids and Tax Man) rare and obscure games"
"He further says how bad this game is. He says that it's so bad, he's not going to show it to us. What the hell? Is that suppose to be funny"
Its not suppose to be funny, James' is just saying that this game is so bad that his not going to show it to us. Thats how bad the game is.
"The game's really not even that bad."
Is this why most online reviews give it a 1/10. Heres the proof

"He shows the cartridge of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He wonders who spent 89 cents on the game. Again, the game's not that bad."
Again, I refer you back to my previous links.
"No commentary. Just a video of the title screen and intro animation. And I mean, it's literally a video of the screen. He took a video camera and point it, crooked, at the screen."
This was his second review which he did for fun and wasn't taking it seriously.
"He asks who the people are trying to kill you. Who really cares? Besides, I don't know much about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but I assume it has something to do with that."
Well in the the book people were only after Hyde and not Jekyll because they didn't know Hyde and Jekyll where the same person. In this part of the video James plays as Jekyll, so why are people trying to kill him?
"He complains that you can't use the staff as a weapon. Dr. Jekyll is suppose to be weak. You are just suppose to dodge the enemies. The idea is that you try to use the can to defend yourself, and it doesn't work."
Okay, so why do they give you a weapon if its not meant to be used. Thats the point James was trying to get across. Also, I think you meant cane instead of can.
"This part sucks. James really has no idea how to play the game. It's really not that complicated and is a creative idea. You are suppose to get as far as you can with Dr. Jekyll, then you turn into Mr. Hyde and can only go as far as you went with Dr. Jekyll before you die."
Actually the real way to play the game is to beat the level with Jekyll. But if you turn into Hyde the level becomes mirrored and you have to turn back into Jekyll before travelling the same distance you travelled while playing as Jekyll.
"This whole time he spends in front of the camera explaining that you should stay away from the game. I think he wants us to stay from the game just so we don't see that it's actually not that bad."
Again, the Links.
Thats all for this one thanks for reading
