SERIOUSLY? For me that was a great start into the game. Press A to demonstrate your ability to read. In fact, they waste no time hitting the funny bone as the tutorial experience is pretty funny too. The dialogue is hilarious and even the load screens will cause you to chuckle. Quite honestly, the storyline itself is really only so-so but the way it’s played out with cheesy one-liners and off-the-cuff humour makes your play through an enjoyable one. Blood Dragons are badass and they shoot lasers out of their eyes! Yes you heard me right, frickin’ lasers! If this sounds like the clichéd story line from an 80’s action flick I’d agree with you, but it’s also everything that makes this game awesome. Sloan is also breeding the nasty Blood Dragons too, and once you encounter one of them in game you’ll understand that this is a bad thing. You fill the role of Rex ‘Power’ Colt, a cybernetic super soldier on a mission to stop his rogue ex-commander, Sloan, and his band of robotic cronies Omega Force. It’s blowing stuff up and toilet humour done right, and game flops like the last Duke Nukem title can take note. Aside from quite a bit of Far Cry 3’s gaming mechanics Blood Dragon is a standalone title that is a messy, sloppy love letter to anyone who grew up watching action flicks in the 80’s.
