Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Black Plague has descended upon the world, transforming its inhabitants into horrible creatures. The unicorns, who have been mysteriously spared this affliction, come under suspicion from all sides. Pryzm, a brave unicorn, and Karrock, a wise troll, are reluctantly obliged to join forces as they set off in search of the source of the evil that has befallen the mountain of the trolls, the forest of the elves, the mountains of the gnomes, and the marshes of the nymphs. This special duo sets off on a crusade in which they use their magic powers to bring back to life the host of creatures they encounter in the course of their perilous journey. The player can control Pryzm and Karrock as a single entity, but each will have its own powers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, awful, awful, June 16, 2002

This review is from: Pryzm Chapter one: The Dark Unicorn (Video Game)

This game is just horrible. Levels are boring and uninspired. Player control is weak (jumping, using magic). Enemies are not difficult to beat, just annoying (they instantly come back). Gameplay is repetitive. Destroy a flower, then another, and another, and another... And the character "dialogue" started repeating within seconds. Even cheap as this game is, it's not worth it. I had read it was like Spyro (which I think is a great game, clever with very smooth control), which is why I got it, but it's nothing like Spyro, it's just lousy and boring.

This game could have been so much better if it weren't so dang impossible. The controls don't help; they're hard to get ahold of. The enemies' constant regeneration wears on your nerves after a while. Also, some of the scenery is so dark, you can't actually see what's going on.
The only way I could get past the second stage is by cheating.
(For those who are interested, save game as SUPREMEMAGIC and you become invincible and with limitless magic. Once you're invincible with unlimited magic, the game becomes the tiniest bit less impossible.)
The movie sequences are about ten seconds long, and there's a lot of frustrating game play in between.
If you can get it cheap, go ahead and try it.

i liked the game at first but it got really repeative and bored me. So i quit playing it but i liked it for the first couple of levels. to be honest the only reason I bought it was because i LOVE unicorns and its the only game i seen with a unicorn in it. I bought it tried and learned my lesson. Don't buy a game because you love the animal in it.
