Well, for my second PC software review, I finally got my hands on a copy of Bikini Karate Babes
http://www.bikinikaratebabes.com/Well, its a spoof off of fighting games female characters. As the years have moved along, the costumes continues to shrink. The game is live action similar to MK.
Graphics. Ingame, they aren't that bad. There is some jerkiness between some moves, but all in all very smooth. The backgrounds aren't anything special, but they aren't bad either. I give it a solid 5. One annoying part is a game that comes on 4 CDs, the static pictures between fights are dithered with bad colors. I can't believe that they didn't have nice graphics between the fights.
Controls. Down right the worst I've ever seen. I would rather be playing MK emulated in Mame on a 386 computer without enough memory. The problems are so bad its hard to know where to start. 1) I would press kick and consistently get a punch. I don't know how they even managed that one. 2) Blocking took about 4 or 5 seconds to start. 3) You can't press a button when down (so no blocking when you get up... this comes up in GamePlay). Last, the jumping and moving sucks... BTW, did I mention it sucks?
GamePlay. Against the computer, its not 100% bad... but, well, its about 95% bad. If you get knocked down, you might as well quit at higher levels... you will get knocked down again before you could punch, kick, or block. But if you get the other down, you can kick thier asses. So you find a decent combo and you can make it through a few screens.
Oh yeah, if you get turned around... I still haven't figured out how to turn myself back most of the time. Sometimes I would be dead before I could start looking at the other. This is just down right annoying, stupid, and well.... !@#'d up. Nothing like almost winning, getting caught with a non-damage turning around move... and dying with a full bar because you can't do anything...
The only hope for the gameplay is it seems like it would be fun against a friend. Not tested yet...
Setup. It only runs at 640x480 (great for me). You can config a few options. Nothing big... Mainly for slow systems.
Now for the real question... Pron! This is the one part that could have made the game a winner. Well... after playing for half an hour... Not a single nipple... I don't dought that you might see something with the hidden characters... but I'm starting to wonder. All the moves shown in the mp3 download that look like you might see something... you don't. You might be able to unlock it, but I can't imagine spending the time to do so.
So my final vote
