DS Painting game review!
Call me an idiotic cretin, but I love the idea of painting games on the DS, what an EXCELLENT concept, made even better by the DS stylus control!
The peoples at Stupid Fucking Customers don’t though, as you can plainly see by Phorenzik’s vicious panning of Paint By DS.
It’s a shame really, because if he’d had researched a little bit deeper, he would of found another painting game in the “Zen Series” line he may have liked…
Yes! Paint by Vigo! An excellent bit of software where you get to paint an EXACT REPLICA of the possessed painting of Vigo The Carpathian from Ghostbusters II!
Here is me at the start of the game. It gives me a rough line drawing to work on as a guideline, whilst in the top screen, I’m getting “expert advice” from Dr. Janosz Poha.
As you can see here, I’ve started work around the eyes and nose, and shit. For some kind of art expert, Janosz is a bit crap. All he cares about is going on about how wonderful Vigo is, and can’t be arsed to give me any top tips on how to blend my colours more realistically.
Now we’re fucking getting somewhere. As I paint in more detail, instead of getting Johnny Foriegner spouting gibberish at me, The ghost of Vigo himself comes to give his opinion! I’m not sure if he likes my rendition of him or not.
I’ve nearly finished the painting, but Vigo’s gone all fucked up looking! I’m getting the distinct impression I may have done something a bit wrong and he’s a bit pissed off at me, but I’m not sure what. Vigo isn’t the most talkative despotic ruler of Carpathia I’ve ever met.
SCORE: Paint By Vigo is a great game, I would recommend it to anyone. 94%.
