Wild West Wendy Review

I am confused. I read the other reviews of this game expecting it to be a phenomenal treat, but it turned out to be anything but. The premise of the game is that you are a new bartender in the Old West and you have to tend to your customers by making sure they have drinks and are happy.

What this consists of is a lot of pointing and clicking using the mouse. You click to pick up drinks, you click to hand out drinks, you click to stop fights. Pretty much its just a lot of clicking, and it gets boring fast. This game is so easy that a four year old could win by mistake. It does get progressively more complex, adding robbers and other annoyances, but this does not make it any more fun.

I became fed up with the game quickly, frustrated with the monotony. Yes, the music was nice and the graphics obviously had a lot of work put into them, but even they had their flaws. The character designs were ridiculous, featuring a cast of cowboys that more closely resembled the village people. All of this was topped off with a plot that I couldn't have cared less about no matter how hard I tried.

After an hour of play, I couldn't take it any longer and turned off my whole computer in disgust.
