Blow your mind with MAKE MY VIDEO! (Not)
Platform: Sega CD
Ooohh yeah baby, totally hip hints, p-p-phat visuals and a slammin’ soundtrack right here to Make My Video! HAHAHA! More like phat-ass visuals which y’can EAT big time! Are you one of those epileptic chumps or one of those lame frumpwusses that don’t enjoy music?! Well, look away from this totally ludicrously fire video! For COOL KIDS ONLY!
Man, I dunno how to make engagin’ hooks, okay? But I make a good 90s cool impression, don't I?
Make My Video is one of those nifty little things that you can really envision givin’ to someone you HATE as a Christmas present. Check it, it’s this flimsy attempt at video editin’ through the SEGA CD in the form of a video game, which y’already know will be bogus. This isn’t any Premiere Pro or Vegas, y’won’t get complexity in this, let alone artistry. Y’gotta pick from three boxes with videoclips runnin’ through ‘em, two of them unrelated to the song (which I’m assumin’ is Public Domain by this point in time) and some GNAARLLYYY AND WOOOOOZY special effects that frankly just make your already hard-to-watch video even harder-to-stomach. I’m not jokin’ they’re more of an eye-sore than enhancin’ the video experience. If you really wanta ruin your video, put a couple of ‘em and disorient yourself so bad y’knock yourself out and forget ‘bout this game. If you can even call this a game. The hypnotic rhythm of the music and the shots of Mark Wahlberg’s pecs can’t brainwash me into thinkin’ this shit classifies as a game. Besides, not a lot I can get brainwashed with when the game is crushed and compacted into being that god awful full-motion video (FMV) quality, one of the best selling points of the Sega CD! NOT.
Notoriously horrible lookin’ and I still cannot believe they went through with sellin’ as much of their products with this gimmick as much as they did. In the words of the Angry Nerd, Full Motion Video my ass! I’d rather be full-fuckin’-screen! I gotta agree, ‘cause no amount of CRT TV filters can make this shit look nice, it’s like a very flimsy attempt at concealin’ that your machine can’t display full video yet flauntin’ that you can show SOME of it.
So, there’s REALLY no good justification for this god-awful game. One thing this is useful for is if you’re autistic (like I am) and hyperfixated on the music video clips y’get with the game, or the music itself. This is before Youtube remember? If you were bored outta your mind and wanted to listen to this song (and the other choices y’got) over and over again, this would be your choice. Or if y’wanted your fix of Mark Wahlberg you wouldn’t hafta sit on TV with your VHS recorder and catch a glimpse of ‘im durin’ interviews or shit! You could just slap this sucker in, put play and get your fix, if you were THAT big of a fan.
The whole premise of the game is that y’get a buncha people requestin’ things they wanta see in the music video, so you gotta select those clips for ‘em and satisfy their weird cravings to get praises (and a good score or somethin’, I never finished this shit). Surprisingly, this part is very much like bein’ a real editor, always satisfyin’ some weirdos whims and never getting to flesh y’own muscles creatively.
Doesn’t matter, really. Whatever you come up with is goin’ to end up lookin’ like one of those old Youtube dance videos where people compiled a buncha unrelated but funny Something Awful dancin’ gifs mixed with funny animations we stole and never credited, to the beat of Scatman. I’m not joking, a video as such exists and I have it saved in my folder named: “Early youtube videogame dude kind of videos and other oddities (plus Nyan Cat)”
Anyways! Make My Video. It fuckin’ sucks!
Rating: I NEED A SECOND out of 10.
End of review.
