Awhile back, I was given a copy of Left Behind: Eternal Forces. I did not pay for Left Behind: Eternal Forces. I also did not steal Left Behind: Eternal Forces. I quite literally don't know who gave me Left Behind: Eternal Forces.
I answered the questions below -- the ones simmering on your mind -- in an effort to review the game.
Does Left Behind: Eternal Forces let you kill people?
Yes. But only in self-defense.
With a tank?
Yes.
But you're protecting others, so it's morally good, then.
No, it costs you Spirituality Points. It's still bad. But sometimes, you have to kill bad guys, but it's still morally bad, but you should do it sometimes, but it's morally bad, but sometimes you just have to, you know? But it's bad.
How can you tell who the bad guys are?
They cuss.
No, seriously.
No, seriously.
What do you mean?
Each character has special traits and abilities. The Christians all have "Pray" under their special ability section. Like, there's a woman who's the Worship Leader, and her special abilities are "Pray, Crowd Worship" When you equip her with "music" and "public speaking" training, she gets the ability to "positively rivet the audience nearby."
Awesome. But she doesn't cuss.
No. Bad guys have "Swearing" as their special abilities. All of them. For example, non-Christian musicians get special abilties "Swear, Sing" or "Swear, Play", or -- for the Level 3 Rock Star -- "Swear, Perform Concert" And she wears a scanty blouse-thing, which should tip you off that she's fixin' to swear.
ALL the bad guys have "swear" as their special ability?
Yes. It's pretty realistic of the end-times, when cussing will increase ten-fold. The Gangster bad guy has "Swear, Rumble", the soldier has "Swear, Explosive Bullets" and thief, curiously, has "Swear, Pickpocket, Poison", which is an awesome name for the next Shaun Groves CD, in my opinion.
Swear, Pickpocket, Poison?
Swear, Pickpocket, Poison.
Is there a David Crowder Band song in this game?
Yes. For me, this is causing some cognitive dissonance. I don't know how to account for this. I do kinda wish he, himself, were in the game, and he could drive the tank and stuff.
Who recommends Left Behind: Eternal Forces on the game box?
Someone named Beverley LaHaye, with Concerned Women for America. Miss (Mrs.?) LaHaye says "...here is a game we can heartily recommend..."
Back to the good guys/bad guys. You mentioned they have to be trained or something, to get their special abilities?
Yes. The good guy Christians get trained at, primarily, something called The Mission Training Center. Also Churches, Cathedrals. Christian Level 1 Soldiers get skills like "Pray, Explosive Bullets".
So they're trained at Mission Training Centers. Where are the bad guys trained?
All the evil people are trained at...you guessed it..."college".
You made all this up.
I made nothing up.
"Swear, Pickpocket, Poison" will be on Family Christian Store shelves in time to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace.
Well...me neither. But I remember reading about it.
Absolutely amazing review. May I ask what is happening in the screenshot? Are those Christian soldiers or are those college-trained mercenaries?
Nothing like a little nepotism when it's rapture time!
And Shaun, I triple-dog-dare you. Do it! DO IT!!!!
The title of my previous comment was "MRS. LaHaye" The first sentence makes more sense that way.
