He is an ordinary plush bear. Dear and playful. Brown. I want to pat it by the cheek. Here he is, affably waves us with a paw. But what is? He saddened. He was not called to a party in honor of the birthday of another bear. Invited the whole island – except him. Hey Mishka, what will you do? Look Richy Fox Casino, he took a cleaver. I wonder where on the floor in the house of Mishka Tesak? He also broke the toilet, a sink, broke the window, broke the door ..
Hmm, but here is another, purple bear. Hey, why did you hit him? He ripped off his belly – an ugly, spoiled bear. Now go and kill everyone at the party. Let no one hide. Raste the colorful heads of a baseball bat, tear off the plush hands, send the axes with an ax – and before that, scare them to half to death, jumping out of the closet. For this you will get hundreds of thousands of points and a new suit – in the style of Benjamin Franklin.
Goodbye, our affectionate bear
If you at least a little followed the development Naughty Bear , That image of the game, probably, you have the following: a stinging parody of children's fairy tales in general and Disney Winnie-Pooh in particular, the adventures of an evil bear, which only does what is sneaked in the bushes, scares the brothers on the sandbox and with the help of improvised means Fiercely punishes them. Something like Manhunt In the Universe of the Mishka Gammy. And you know, the way it is, with only one reservation: murder is all that we will do.
Moreover, in the same scenery, with the same scenario of levels of levels, with the same motivation, the same arsenal of weapons, the same animation of executions … well, and so on. Therefore, Naughty Bear is only fun for the first half hour. But you will definitely not regret these thirty minutes.
Here is our brown fluffy butcher runs out of his gingerbread house. The goal is to get to the disco vicinity to the traitors and to kill them all. We are hiding in the bushes, we find a baseball bat. We are trying to play Sam Fisher, waiting in the bushes, while the bears at the entrance go to the hall. This is quickly bored (they don’t think to get out), so we run out of shelter, break the window of the nearest house, climb inside, break the toilet and the roar in passing (they accrue points for this), select a bear caps from the floor … and suddenly, from the door to the door, we attacks us with the opened door. Another bear with an ax. Stun it with a bat, and then, by pressing the “kill” button, we observe how our bear turns the enemy’s head into a chop (the scene terribly resembles a similar episode from the film “Irreversibility”).
We leave the house. They notice us, the commotion begins. The most cowardly of the bears hide in the cabinets. Those who did not have enough cabinets decide to barricadely – and block the doors with refrigerators. Two VIP men decide to wash off by car and boat. But where to them. Having pulled Mishutka out of the car, the hero smears his head with a door. After that, he climbs through the window to the hidden smart people – and scores them to death with a golf club. The ball is over, everyone died.
Interesting? Undoubtedly. But imagine that this scenario will have to be repeated … well, a few dozen times. Not one to one, of course: sometimes the goals of the levels are changing here (“kill them all”, “earn one hundred thousand points and don’t kill anyone”, “burn five gifts in the fire”) or throw a new instrument of deadly deaths. But such enlightenments are categorically few, so the basic strategy for passing levels remains unchanged until the very end.
Bear-Tim, where is your smile?
Five terrible facts about the world -famous teddy bear Teddy
- The very history of the emergence of Teddy's bear is covered with haze of blood. So, on the hunt in 1902, US President Theodor Roosevelt did not want to kill a bear being driven and tied to a tree. Said it was "unsportsmanlike". Soon the story found a romantic halo, and the Washington Post published a thematic caricature that touched millions of readers. It was then that entrepreneur Morris Michot launched plush bears in production.
- At first, Teddy bears were made not from Plush, but … from natural fur and fabrics. However, such flaying production turned out to be financially disadvantageous, and already in 1903 Teddy became Plushev.
- In 1912, the Austrian toy company Steiff Company launched in a sign of mourning for the Passengers of Black Medvezhet Teddy, who died at the Titanic.
- The plush bear managed to inspire horror and in the cinema. So, in the series “Escape from Prison” by Theodore Bagwell, a dodgy pedophile maniac, nickname … yes, Teddy. Moreover, his mistress Suzen Hollander calls him affectionately – my teddy bear Teddy.
- In the terrible grotesque comedy-fantasmagoria, director Takashi Miika “The Happiness of the Kataguri family” (2001), a plush bear is a cyclopic size of a loving with a pipe mouth, a herbal eye, a shelter, a body resembling a dusty bag with sharp metal claws of a crow.
American mcGee’s naughty bear
Monotony is still half a bastard. Real Sodom begins when the miscalculations. So, if we die, no one will think to resurrect the hero on the last checkpoint. There simply does not exist – despite the fact that each level usually consists of several blocks of tasks with its own targets. This is especially nervous when restrictions begin to be set: for example, go through the level of "untouchable". That is, if someone hit us, you will have to start again. Moreover, after our death, the game, as if mocking, will remain, then show the achievement table, load the list of levels, let the mission again choose, somewhere half a minute will be sore slowly … And when the hated level will be passed almost to the end, we are again inadvertently dug – And you have to start all over again.
Therefore, it is enough to die five times-and the Naughty Bear ceases to seem at least some funny. Saves that the gameplay is very simplified. The bears, for example, were clearly damp in the heads of the sawdust – they lose sight of the player, even if he sniffs into the bushes in front of their nose. Therefore, already in the middle of the game, when enemies run in herds and shoot with a shot at point blank, tactics loosen this: wait in the bushes, while some unlucky policeman fades away from the group, score it with an ax, raise the weapon, go into the bushes and sequentially shoot the rest. Passion is interesting.

The most Naughty Bear resembles the last games of American McG – American mcGee’s bad day la. The advantages and disadvantages are the same: an extravagant concept and boring, full of gamedic miscalculations of gameplay. Even the advertised scapling chip here, in fact, is not needed. Yes, the first couple of times it is interesting to get behind Mishutka while he is gaining the number of the police station, pull him by the shoulder and roar the stench in his face. But then what? The meaning of the revision is purely decorative (where it is more profitable for the enemy to kill and go to the next level), the same animation instantly gets tired. The same problem with animations for “fatalia” – if there were three types of them in the same manhunt for each weapon, then there is one, and even that extremely boring.
It seems that the authors simply did not understand what they expected from them. They came up with thirty -five levels – and made them almost the same, changing only the introductory video. For some reason, dozens of bonus costumes were added to the game, forgetting to diversify the animation of murders. And it looks like all your fantasy Artificial Mind and Movement Wrapped to last year Wet. No matter how sad it is to recognize this, even a game with a plush bear-maniac in the title role can turn out to be boring.
