[Mutant Ninja Turtles]

It was good...

Ok, some people will probably criticise my review, but I'm being honest here. In terms of graphical style, I feld you captured the excitement of the Turtles series and the transition from that to the darker element was done well.

The animation, however, was another thing - whilst smooth in areas of the clip, it lacked depth and style in the others. Needless to say, it was a good clip that I felt had some great concepts, but some of the backgrounds, and animations really have to be improved.

Overall, a good clip that was worthy of its place, but perhaps needs to be refined in terms of its animation for it wasn't as fluid as it could have been.

Nice concept.

[ FULL REVIEW ]

[ Graphics ][ 8 ]
- Nice graphical representations.
- Fluid animation, not a hint of any slowdown - goes well with this type of movie.

[ Style ][ 9 ]
- Nice style and a well thought out movie.
- Very fluid animation.

[ Sound ][ 8 ]
- Not too bad, I don't have any complaints.

[ Violence ][ 8 ]
- Nice ending to the game, not what I expected. Nice fighting styles and use of dialogue during the fight sequence.

[ Interactivity ][ 7 ]
- Good, I like the story elements.

[ Humour ][ 8 ]
- Blend of humour.
- Nice speech in some areas!
- Great ending.

[ Overall ]
It's been played to its full potential. Good visuals and sweet animation, so why do some people give it bad ratings. Personally I think it's a great clip that DESERVES to be on the FRONT page. Excellent Zen, well done.

[The New DBR (preview)]

Speachless

Here's my review:

Graphics:
Very nice improvement over your original ones, nice tonal work as well as smoother lines and neat colours. A little bit of detail here and there would improve it a little, but it's excellent, especially in the middle of the movie. I will learn from your techiques!

Sound:
Great, follows the DB themes nicely and great character voices too!

Violence:
Nice collection of moves and animated very, very well - follows the DB series EXTREMELY accurately - well done!

Interactivity:
None as it is a demo, but a scene selector would be nice for the final - I would love to replay the best parts!!!

Humour:
Nice touches here and there, but DB is full of action! I hope there are better elements in your movie then found in the TV series!

overal:
Excellent, a high quality trailer/movie that's perhaps in the ranks, currently, of the best animations! Superb effort!

[DRAGONPARKZ]

EVERYONE can do better.

Blimey! To be honest, I hate it when people post negative reviews for good things but this is definitely something that isn't.

It's titled "south park", but the 'loading' screen is the only relative thing and the graphics are way below standard decency, they look choppy and cheap.

I don't mean to be heavilly critical, but it is the worst DBZ movie, even I DID BETTER.

[Dragonball R Episode 1]

Great movie and in the style of DBZ.

I liked this, it starts of a little sketchy but it's fantastic in places, follows the style of the original animé. But, in other areas, it's poorly done and I must say the graphics aren't as good as the ideas that they represent. But in all other aspects, it's a great piece of work, but it just needs to be tidied in some areas.

Nice!
