Antler Grading System |
So this is how we judge games here at Shredded Moose.
Every game is judged according to the state of the industry when it hit retail shelves. Back in ’98, the original Half-Life would have scored 9.5 Antlers. But if it was released nowadays with its aged architecture it would get about 5 Antlers because in many aspects it can’t even compare to most games out there right now (although for the record the AI and story are still pretty good as of 2007). |

Total Fucking Shit |

Never play this game... ever.
This game is absolutely horrible with zero redeeming qualities and nothing good about it at all. It’s very hard to find a game as bad as this steaming pile of shit; just like it’s hard to find a game that’s at the other end of the scale. This game should not have been made. If someone could compress all the human waste that passes through the United States’ sewage system in a given month and package it onto a CD, this game would be it. |

Don’t waste your time on this title.
This game is nearly total shit and it’s hard to find any good points buried beneath all the feces; that is if there are any good points at all. This game isn’t worth playing, although if you really hated yourself I suppose you could play it... but I sure as hell wouldn’t. There are some things that are bearable about this game but they don’t do enough to save this piece of trash. During the Vietnam War there was this torture where the Vietcong would strangle you with your own scrotum while sodomizing you with a fish tank. That’s how fun this game is.

Really Bad |

Probably a waste of your time.
Games like this are fairly shitty and have a long way to go before anyone could call them “tolerable”. The amount of good points in the game are dwarfed by the mountainous amount of flaws. There are a few okay things about it, but not enough to make it worth playing. If you’re playing this game, it’s likely you have no friends; and let’s face it, if you’ve got taste that sucks this much, who’d want you as a friend anyway? If you’re wondering what playing this game would be like, think of being gangbanged by a group of drunken manatee.

Sub-Par |

Play a little if you’re feeling desperate.
You could play this game but it’s definitely below average and not likely to be too enjoyable. This game for the most part is “kinda-okay”. However, it’s got more flaws then good points so it isn’t really worth your time. If someone gave you this game and then they asked if it was “okay”, you’d answer “no” and then punch them in the face. The only way you’re likely to own a game like this is if your Grandma bought it for you from the “bargain bin” down at the local Thrift store.

Completely middle of the road.
This game is simply “okay”, so if someone lent it to you, you might play it in the absence of anything else. This game has either a few big flaws, or numerous small ones; either of which impact the gameplay significantly. However, it all ends up evening out because there are just as many good points about the game as there are bad ones. You should look for something better to play unless you don’t really care. If this game were a car, it would probably be an older model with about a hundred thousand miles on it... and a whiny girlfriend in the trunk.

Above Average |

Worth playing.
Add this title to the list of games you want to rent, but not near the top of the list. This game starts to tip towards the better end of the scale, parts of it are good and all-in-all it’s an above average title. It’s got a few more good things going for it then it has flaws, but just a few. This game is certainly not worth more then a rental unless of course it’s dirt cheap. It’s like if you’re spying on the next door neighbors daughter but instead of seeing her totally nude she’s just topless, playing with her tits... okay, so maybe the game isn’t *that* good.

Definitely rentable.
A game like this is totally worth a rental sometime soon and is bound to bring you ample amounts of joy. Although it’s still far from perfect, a game like this is certainly headed in the right direction. You wouldn’t pass up sex with a hot girl for playing this game; but if you could bang the chick *while* playing... now there’s a thought.

Great |

Rent it now, maybe buy it.
As far as rentals go, this should be the next one you rent because it’s a sweat-ass game. Sure it’s still got some flaws but they are either few and far between or nothing that drastically affects your enjoyment of the game. It’d be like nailing some chick, and then her bisexual identical twin sister walks in on you and asks to join in. This is the gaming equivalent of that.

Awesome |

You are totally buying this game.
This game unquestionably warrants a purchase! Put it at the top of your “favorite games” list for a long time to come. There are hardly any flaws in the game and the ones you do notice are negligible and barely impact your experience at all. This is an excellent fucking game, almost everything works great together and it’s totally worth owning! Banging a supermodel and then finding out that she’s the Night Elf Priestess you’ve been cybering with, is about as awesome as playing this game.

Instantly buy this game and name your first born child after it.
Everything about this game is so unbelievably awe-inspiring, that if there is such a thing as “perfection”, this game is it. It’s an outstanding title and you should do everything within your power to own it! Playing this game isn’t just “playing a game”, it’s an earth-shattering experience that you will remember for the rest of your natural life and tell your grandkids about. This game is so tremendously awesome you should buy it for yourself and at least one friend. Not owning this game would be a sin against the industry and all of humanity. The brilliant developers of this game should be worshipped as gods, complete with virgin sacrifices. Beg, borrow, cajole, or sell your family or yourself into slavery, but make sure you get a hold of this title. If a harem of tight-bodied Brazilian sorority girls were ready and willing to satiate your every sexual desire, you *might* begin to understand what playing a game this good is like.
