Whatever you say, but Zach Snyder One of the most fashionable and multifaceted directors of our time can be considered rightfully. He should not shut up anything behind the belt George Romero, Virtuo -reinforcing him of the same fellow;to charge the showdowns of half -naked Spartan men with such a phantasmagoric drive that in the usual case there would be more than ten “matrices” – to then submit to the court the most ironic and gloomy ribbon about superheroes. This time Mr Snider Shattered in a slightly different direction: his new work by Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’hole (in the Russian rental – “Night Guidelines”) is an adaptation of the series of books of the same name Katherine affection, telling about a fictional world in which wise owls. According to all the laws of the marketing drama, one should expect the release of the Great Martyr based on the motives, which has to courageously survive the city of critics and offensive attacks on the part of the profile press, so that at the end of his righteous path, the financial position of the greedy publisher and ingloriously sunk into the summer a little. Frankly, a seditious thought about the quality of the interactive interpretation of the “night guards” creeped out from the very beginning. Still, a diligent product for the film license is an extremely rare phenomenon standing in the temporary scale of phenomena at approximately the same level with a large planet parade. But this is the strange side of this story: Legend of the Guardians In an incomprehensible way, it combines unusual design solutions with frank hack. Nevertheless, call her bad tongue does not turn.
In the Trill kingdom
The Owls of Ga’hole departs from the official storyline and paints about the misadventures of a young guard named Shard. Being the son of the exile, he seeks to cleanse the family pedigree from many years of shame to prove to everyone in the district, that in fact the apple rolled far from the apple tree. Moving up the scenario path, we will witness fierce battles, inter -class rabbits and at least one triumphant exposure.
We warn you right away: the narrative has a number of specific features that you will have to get used to. The developers did not draw torn twenty-minute CGI-scenes, instead the story is presented through … a diaphylam with rare interspersed scenes on the engine. We are shown animated illustrations that are accompanied. Typically, for such undisguised manifestations of the “creative minimalism” of the authors it is customary to whip along the cheeks and at every opportunity to flaunt, in every possible way emphasizing their creative failure. But not in our case. The thing is that such a purely book, unhurried presentation format, coupled with the outstanding work of the actors, perfectly complements the mysterious atmosphere and scores a certain fabulous charm, thereby bringing the game closer to the book than the film.
But what Krome Studios certainly should not be done – so it is with enviable regularity to contact the events of the book and cinema, because without special preparation here the devil will break his leg itself. This is not catastrophic, but a certain dissonance still introduces. Since they decided to honestly abstract from both sources, then be kind to do it so that the work is moderately separate. From all of what has been said, it follows that it is better not to meddle without the baggage of knowledge – you will be bastarded in matters and semi -trees, you will not find answers to the game in the game, and the story performed by unearthly pathos about the gossip of various birds with complex muzzles runs out to seem hopeless nonsense.
A owl is visible by flight
And if with the plot everything is more or less clear, then some difficulties may arise with genre identification. To better understand the game device, try to imagine an aviation arcade in fantasy surroundings, in which instead of bulky attack aircraft and fighters in the sky, brisk feathers are fighting, preferring to close combat. The organization of management, affordable maneuvers, led as a unit of support, continuous negotiations in flight, are all as in the average air system. Differences begin when it comes to the combat system.
IN Legend of the Guardians We extinguish forest fires, we clean the caves from bats, disable the enemy ballists, save the chicks and so on. In nine out of ten cases, the task ends with a protracted battle. Focusing on the radar, we mark the desired target in the airspace, after which we fly up to the enemy and painfully hit with a clawed paw directly in the belly. As an option, you can snatch it with all the dope about a nearby rock in order to cause increased damage to health or defeat protection. If a special scale of valor is filled (the best way to restore it is diving), then you can also be entrusted with dirty work by your subordinates, just by clicking on the FAS button!”. Methodically combining such simple techniques, we build a set of computers: after several successful attacks, the paws of the owl are ignited from frenzy and the damage applied significantly increases.
The tragic truth is that people from Krome Studios For some reason it seemed as if they were especially successful, so it
is not a sin to pull all the action on them. But this, to put it mildly, is not like that: a few possibilities fall on the head of a person who is taken aback from the first minutes, and then they have to only be shut. Despite the fact that three types of adversaries are represented here-eagles, crows and bats-a recipe for their preparation for some reason invariably alone. As a result, the combat system is quickly bought up, and not having time to really open up.
And finally, the main thing is what you need to know about Legend of the Guardians: she is mockingly short-to go through a single plot campaign and study each of the five available cards along and across, you will leave for three to four hours. Only after the final, it is hardly possible to get out at least one bright moment from the memory.
Legend of the Guardians – A pretty good game, the main problem of which is that its authors tried their best to catch the premiere of the film. The Stakhanovsky pace was given at the cost of serious simplifications: there are a lot of potentially interesting puffs, which, alas, did not receive the proper depth of implementation, and cyclic tasks and rapidly cheating combat system are able to drive any normal person into a lethargic sleep long before the final credits. However, if you suddenly are a passionate fan of creativity Katherine affection or you are in a state of violent delight from going to the cinema, then see The Owls of Ga’hole at least for introductory purposes is worth.
Pros: A completely new chapter in the Universe of the Night Guardians;Greatly conveyed romance of flight;A wonderful fairy -tale atmosphere.
Cons: funny duration;The plot is replete with logical holes;Universal monotony.
