Mass: we pray a video game about going to church

When the Nintendo Wii was released I could be quoted as saying it was "the most retarded thing I've seen since the California High School exit exam". The more I've seen of it and every product released by Nintendo and 3rd parties have done more and more to seal that quote.

Now a 3rd party studio is releasing Mass: we Pray. I got a small headache typing that. However there may be some people reading this who are authentically interested in buying a prayer game for the family. For those people I'll begin this preview by saying God isn't real. So there. I was right about the Wii being a shitbox so I'd certainly know a thing or two about what comprises our universe. Why don't you just do what you do best and shut up and listen to what your told k?

In Mass: We Pray (cringe) you, do church stuff...With your wii controller...yeah

See I'm not even making this up for once! Like a lot of my game reviews I havn't actually bothered to purchase or play this game as writing about them doesn't actually pay enough for me to buy them. However I saw that trailer which is actually quite more than what I usually go on. Afterall I didn't even see the box for Left 4 dead until two months after I did that review and I was spot on! I might be a little drunk but I'm sure I can review Mass: We Pray just fine!

Mass: We Pray is a multiplayer game availiable for the nintendo wii developed by prayer works interactive. A first of it's kind it's a Church, prayer, and ceremony simulator. Imagine Guitar Hero however instead of rockin out to your favorite jams your worshiping your Lord with up to three friends!

As innovative as this game is being the first of it's kind and despite all the polish, detail, research, animation, special effects, hard work, and bronzecasting that went into this game there are glaring points that will keep you from wanting to own this game.

The wiimote is unresponsive which can turn any of the events which involve flame such as lighting candles into a five alarm fire or result in you wacking Grandma in the eye with the collection plate(I did this both in real life and in the game).

Also the experience overall isn't very deep as much as a series of gimicky minigames that won't take more than an hour to complete. Some people might want to keep coming back to mass over and over but most are going to move on and perhaps enjoy something deeper like Madden: All Play.

Actually this whole thing is a shallow advertisement for Dante's Inferno by EA games. I had too much fun with this. I actually am drunk and I would like a cheque from EA for mentioning them. Looking forward to the game. Probably won't be able to afford it but I will certainly review it well!
