Ever played "Secret Of Monkey Island," "Day Of The Tentacle," "Full Throttle" or "Sam And Max Hit The Road"? Then you’ll love Neighbours From Hell.
Despite its brevity and sadistic humor, you receive an odd sense of satisfaction when your pranks work. Although hardcore gamers might find this title a bit beneath their level of sophistication, most who enjoy electronic recreation will find this release quite fulfilling.
Excruciating brevity is Neighbours From Hell's most hideous drawback, and we can't imagine you sat there a week from purchase playing the same levels over and over. There's a disturbing lack of variety as well.
Its galling brevity combined with the inability to actually watch many of your tricky labors make it a one-shot deal at best, with little replay value -- except perhaps in real life.
[RUS] Эта игра великая и ржачная. Графика на мультяшном уровне, хотя и нормальная, музыка великолепна , а управление весьма удобное. Одним словом если у тебя плохое настроение, то эта игра тебя развеселит(по крайней мере меня она веселила).
[ENG]This game is great and very funny. Graphics on a cartoon level, although normal, the music is beautiful and management very convenient. In short if you're in a bad mood, then this game you cheer(at least for me it amused).
Original and funny game. At first, it seems like a standard point&click but as you play more it turns out to be a game of "match" that is mixed with a bit of puzzle solving and optimizing your path.
So how does it work? You are a host and main character of a live TV show that is focused around doing pranks to your grumpy neighbor. If you manage to do one prank, your neighbor gets angry and your viewers are happy. Do the next prank before he calms down, or better - chain them, and the public will go wild. If the neighbor sees you, the episode is over.
At first, you have to figure out what item does what. The egg should go to a microwave. What to do with a bowling ball - paint it as a football. In each level, you can do only one thing with the item you find and it is rare to find new ways to ruin your victim's day (It is usually one new thing per episode). So it quickly becomes a game of "match". The twist is, that you always want to please the viewers, so you need to optimize your steps perfectly in each episode to max out the score.
The gameplay is addictively simple and pleasing. The graphics look amazing and haven't aged a bit (apart from the resolution).
This is a short and fun title, full of humor and simple puzzles.
I remember playing the hell out of this game as a kid. This game's got a really strong nostalgia feel so strong that only few games have made me feel.
Despite being short, repetitive and hasn't aged that well, I still recommend to experience this game as a little break from your daily routine. It has the elements to put your in a good mood, or at least giggle you up.
OK maybe the game is short and the levels aren't too different. But you gotta admit it's a fun concept and it's not meant to be taken seriously- it's more of a casual game. It's a "quick fix". Nothing heavy just a bit of light point-and-click strategy game for the casual market.
