A sequel to make all games developers think
with the advent of Neighbors from Hell on Vacation which fortunately starts on
board the cruise ship with a tutorial for the uninitiated. The director of the
game
kindly teaches players the delicate art of pulling pranks and unlike
the original game, Woody and the neighbour are not confined to a single
location.
The journey on the cruise ship takes Woody and the neighbour to
China, India, and Mexico with the diversity of locations that makes for
opportunities to perform a number of unique tricks and keeps the game
from becoming repetitive. Players are expected to keep their eyes open
and look for all the tools they can use to pull the most twisted pranks.
The core game play is very similar to the original game where in each
episode, the neighbour has a specific routine. He walks around from one
area to the next, performing various actions and engaging in numerous
vacation activities.
From waterskiing to wooing one of the passengers on
the cruise ship, the neighbour tries to relax and have a good time in a
number of ways. Of course, it is Woody’s job to make sure the neighbour
has a miserable time instead.
Players are expected to observe the neighbour’s routine and look for ways to disrupt it. There are numerous
tools Woody can utilize to prepare tricks in each episode. Woody has to
find the right tools and use them on the correct objects to prepare his
pranks while hiding from the neighbour to avoid detection. Continuing his
regular activities, the neighbour never suspects a thing and eventually
comes full circle on his routine and falls right into the trap.
In order to complete each episode, Woody has to find and perform a
predetermined number of tricks. Upon completing the required amount,
players are allowed to leave the episode and move onto the next one.
However, the real challenge comes from finding all the tricks and
performing them in the correct sequence to make the neighbour completely
infuriated.
Each time he falls for a trick, the neighbour’s anger meter
rises and if Woody manages to set off another trick before the neighbour can
calm down, he gets angrier.
In each episode, setting up the tricks in
the most effective way, Woody can completely fill up the neighbour’s
anger bar, causing the miserable man to throw a fit. Achieving the
maximum fury level gives you extra points and helps Woody win an award
for the episode. It also delivers the sadistic and decidedly twisted
satisfaction of harassing an obnoxious man to the fullest extent
possible.
In conclusion, Neighbours from Hell on Vacation most certainly succeeds in creating a
humorous and whimsical atmosphere, however fails to deliver a true laugh
as the game is extremely clichéd and probably suited to the younger
gamer. Featuring cartoon-style graphics and some mediocre sound effects,
this game is strictly for those that want something left of center. It's
Bugs Bunny, Wild Coyote and just about all comic gags are featured in
this strange title.
