Description: You feel tired of your own existence, you feel like everything is going wrong, there is no way out of this. Your decision has been made. To ruin your own life, you feel like the only mission left for you is to PURGE. Law is going to try to enforce itself on you but you don’t care… you only see red, BLOOD RED, they can run, they can hide, but there will be no escape.
Mayhem is going to ensue, you fuel yourself on that, destruction, chaos. You NEED this, this is your only choice, this is your life’s only goal. In this high octane action game you are The Purge Man, the Man that has mankind’s existence in his own hands, wreck every car, eliminate every single human being on earth, there are no rules.
Review: ‘The Purge Man’ is the type of game you see people moan about on the news. Its pointless violence, only all done in a low-polygon way. Some people like this sort of thing, but I am not one of them as I require a little more rhyme and reason to my games. It doesn’t help that this game is in now short terms…shit. The gameplay is crap, it feels like crap to play, play & of course it both looks and sounds like crap. There is a fun little concept here I suppose, but it just hasn’t been realised yet and probably never will. If you can pick it up for a quid or less it is still worth a look, but I wouldn’t pay much more than that.
