Yes, the weapons are common objects. But, the weapons in the franchise are common objects. Lo and behold, many of the interesting ones show up in the game! Fancy that.

They have a forest, camp, Jason, and Pamela. Location, location, leading character, leading character. Really, what more do you want?

Again, the other, “undead,” is a sign of good game development not bad. What you’re arguing for is that in Super Mario Brothers we shouldn’t have any Goombas and that we should just spend the whole game fighting King Koopa over and over again. That’s the equivalent to complaining about the, “undead.” It just doesn’t make any sense. If they had it that way, the game would be boring and an exercise of poor video game development. Is that what you want? Perhaps in a modern First or Third Person style Friday the 13Th game it would make sense to only fight Jason. But on a 2-D Platformer/Role Play Game you need, “undead,” to be your Goombas for the game to make any sense.

Wow, going from cabin to cabin to rescue your friends and children from Jason. That only sounds like Friday the 13Th to me. How dare they make that the plot of the game!?! We’ve only seen that in Friday the 13Th Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 before the game came out. I have no idea how they could possibly think that a video game based off a movie series where people run from cabin to cabin saving their friends and children could possibly be accurately portrayed as a video game where people run from cabin to cabin saving their friends and children. Under God’s green Earth, it will forever remain a mystery to me.

“Boxing with Jason.” Well, first off, only Jason throws punches. You seem to also forget that he hacks at you with a Machete and an Axe. Totally Friday the 13Th weapons to me. Would you like to pose the argument to me that the Machete isn’t “Friday the 13Th” enough? It did only cut off Pamela’s head after all. Also, the “Boxing,” Jason is the game’s way of showing bare hand combat int he game. (Which Jason does do.) The throwing of punches is only in 3-D mode. Also, 3-D mode is great and is something that not many games really embraced until after Doom. Yet another rare video game element that Friday the 13Th embraced.

I find the challenges in the game fun, challenging, and satisfying. I also find the game well programmed and not lacking anything.

The game is old but at the time there were some very fun and visually attractive games. . . yeah and challenging. I think there are frustrating challenges and then there are fun challenges. There might of been limited ways to go with a nes game but it lacks something. I dunno what that is because there has never been a good Friday the 13th. Well not if you count that cool flash game posted up here a while ago. That was actually fun.

I can’t pass judgment on the guy’s work completely. But I have seen about 3-5 of his pieces and they rub me wrong. All he does (in the ones I have seen) is whine. Does he whine in all of the? I don’t know. Also, just because you own a lot of games doesn’t make you good at them. From what I’ve seen of his work, I do not really care to see anymore. Maybe he’s really like this, or maybe it’s just his character. Maybe he’s serious, or maybe it’s just satire. Regardless, his work annoys me because (in jest or not) it reminds me of the countless people who whine and want to play games that are not challenging and bore me.

To name a few…

How much more “aware” of the Franchise does the game have to be for you?

“This game was aware of the Franchise” Why cause there was Jason in it? I couldn’t defend this piece a shit just because it has Jason. It really sucked and I understand it really is the only game based loosely(very by the way)on F13 but it does help it’s appeal. Just like now there were alot of shitty games and this has gotta be on the top 10 shittiest NES games.

If you saw James’ (AVGN) nes and atari collection you could not say he’s just a countless modern video gamer who whines when they can’t beat the game easily. Dude does reviews on alot of games that bring back memories aswell as classic films.

Yes, I know the stones go over the enemies. That’s a good thing. The standard weapon isn’t supposed to win against everything easily. That’s the whole point of having a weapons system that encourages a player to earn stronger weapons by playing the game more. This is good game design, not bad.

Yes, I realize that Crystal Lake doesn’t usually have countless, “undead,” coming out to get you. But, in the context of a video game, Jason should be saves as a boss character to pop out and scare and have a lot of health. (Just like he is.) It only makes sense to have some, “undead,” with less health to fight while a player makes his/her way through the game. This is, again, good game design and not bad.

Yes, I know, Jason gets a whole other bar of health. You know what? So do the campers if the player can keep them alive long enough! It’s called planning, and using strategy. Try playing the game with six people, each one with their own camper and pass the controller for a different kind of experience. Or, for another kind, try to race people to the end. This game is fun to play again and again.

Also, very few games have ever combined a platform game with a role play game. It works very well.

While I respect that everyone has the right to free speech, I do not think this guy is very funny. He just seems like the countless modern video gamers who whine when they can’t beet the game easily because it’s easier to whine than to actually develop skill. Also, I like the game’s music.

Would love if they re-licensed the game under GPL. I’d also like if someone made a new 3D game like this for the computer under the GPL.
