I remember having this game as a kid. My mum was in great mood one day and she promised to buy me one game, but only if she could choose one, not me. This waste of time and money was the one she chose by pure random. The horrible cover art immediately caught my attention, but until I actually tried it out, I couldn't even imagine the nightmare I was about to witness.

Basically it's a poor man's version of Mortal Kombat, but with characters like Anubis, random green aliens and a killer robot dude. In other words War Gods is just as amazingly boring and lazy as it gets, no interesting or captivating unique characters to begin with. Both the graphics and the sound design were ugly mess even back in the day.

But wait! It does play somewhat tolerably, doesn't it? Nope! I remember feeling extremely frustrated with this piece of garbage, the controls felt completely chaotic and random. Nothing felt as intuitive and easy as it should in this type of fighting game. I ended up smashing the controller like crazy, trying to get any sense out of it.

Eventually I got pissed off with this game so much, my mum ordered me to give it away. Yes, this actually did happen. I gave it to my friend as a "present" and found out that it is actually very picky with the version of the console you are playing it with. If you don't have just right version, then it refuses to work and goes black before the title screen. Luckily my friend didn't have the right version, so I got my little "present" back and threw it into the nearest garbage bin I could find.

Thanks, mum!
