Rating: **
I actually had the ill-fated 32X version of this FMV game which featured Dana
Plato as an undercover vampire busting babe. This is essentially a surveillance
game where you control a number of hidden cameras in a certain house and when you
see bad guys trying to sneak in, you activate the appropriate defense mechanisms.
If too many bad guys sneak into the house, you lose the game. Unfortunately, the
game is fundamentally flawed. The gameplay itself is dreadfully dull, and it's far
more interesting to watch the B-movie antics of the scantily clad girls in the
house who are throwing a slumber party. But if you waste your time watching them,
the bad guys infiltrate the house and you lose. The reward for getting all the bad
guys is that you don't get to see any of the action that's going on in the rest of
the house. It's a lose-lose situation. Like most FMV games, this one would work
better as just a bad movie.
