I’m not sure what would possess somebody to create a game like MaxInjrury—but then again, what was it about that game that made me want to play it?
The idea behind MaxInjury is that you throw a ‘crash test dummy’ down some sort of stairs, ramp, or building. With a swipe of your finger, you send the dummy down to his demise where he will plummet across all sorts of boxes, speed bumps, and construction horses. The more injury and pain you inflict on the dummy the higher your score.
Sadist pleasure aside, MaxInjury has several flaws with the user interface. For example, after you complete a level, you don’t “progress” to the next one, you have to start the process of a new game all over again—needing to press ‘restart’, choose if you want to save the high score, then pick the level you want to play. This interrupts the flow of the game and made me get quite frustrated with the game.
The game does have some nice features too; for example you can choose a photo that you want put on the dummy’s head. This gives you the psychological satisfaction of tossing your arch enemies and annoying co-workers to the death.
Quick Take
Value:Low; The game got boring after a few tries and the user interface killed any sort of momentum
Would I Buy Again:No way!
Learning Curve:Low--just fling the dummy down
Who Is It For:People that like this sort of humour
What I Like:It has some nice features, such as saving the screen and adding a photo on the dummy
What I Don't Like:The game play is boring and the user interface is horrible
Final Statement:Max Injury is a cute idea but just a bad implmentation. Maybe version 2.0 will be better.
The object of each level is to push or throw Max down to the ground level while inflicting as much injury as possible. Your score is the measure of the injury recorded as Max hit the concrete stairs, walls and ledges. You also get additional bonus points (2000) for each object that Max hits before he reach the ground.
The game features:
-Advance 3D Physics system gives Max the most realistic ragdoll motion.
-Elaborate injury score keeping and bonus system makes Max Injury fun and addictive.
-8 Level of physical mayhem! You will keep trying to better your last score.
- Online Global Hi-Score.
