From here on in you’re able to fight alongside the soldiers as they try and take back Russia. Suddenly the grizzly deaths of the hundred or so soldiers that you’ve killed on your way there are swept under the carpet. The first few levels see you taking on the might of the army but once you reach the army hospital the guard on the door recognises the main character and tells his fellow soldiers to stop shooting. New alien talents are frequently gained – or “alien spells†as they’re also known in the menus.
#Morphx main character voice movie
During the invasion the nameless hero becomes infected with an alien virus and slowly starts to turn into one, a la cult movie District 9.Īs the game progresses the protagonist’s body starts to morph into what can only be described as a cross between a Ninja Turtle and Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion.
The army is still strong even after seven months of war and bizarrely still fighting on the same turf the aliens landed, trying to retake ground zero. And there was me thinking that the can of salmon in my cupboard would keep until next Christmas. Aliens attack Moscow “killing millions in seconds†and we’re also told that “after just seven months humankind has been reduced to fighting over cans of rotting foodâ€. The last few levels were done with gritted teeth but MorphX isn’t a terrible game – it’s merely shoddy. Thor, Damnation and Turning Point spring to mind here, but MorphX didn’t make that list. There are few Xbox 360 games out there that have been so shoddy that I haven’t been able to finish them. I’ve always been curious about it, and now that CeX are selling it for £4 I was able to fulfil that curiosity.
It’s a third person romp that 505 Games slipped out on the sly back in 2010, heralding all the way from an unheard of development studio in Russia. You know how some films are so bad that you can’t help yourself but to keep watching? MorphX is the videogame equivalent, riddled with plot holes, clichés, bad voice acting and poor dialogue.
