This review is from: Trapt (Video Game)

Trapt is another installment in Tecmo's excellent "Deception" series where you use traps to dispatch foes (some old elements of the series even make appearances here). The basic premise here is setting up traps within a room to form combos, thus eliminating enemies in very fashionable and painful ways since you have no weapons at your disposal. You have can have up to 9 traps at time; there are 3 traps each for ceiling, wall, and floor.You could use a floor trap to send someone flying into the path of a wall trap, like a spinning blade that sends them shooting across the room, then finish them off by having something like a large fiery boulder fall and crush him/her. There are also room traps such as large ovens, rolling spikes, electrocution chairs, iron maidens, crucifying wheels, and many more that can be used in conjunction with your traps. The more combos you rake up, the more Wharl you get to buy new traps, rooms, and expensive costumes. However, by far the coolest traps are the "Dark Illusion" ones. These are kind of hidden traps you must set up and do an insane amount of damage aside from looking beautifully painful in their custom cut-scenes. An example of one is the "Man Eating Music Box" located in the very first area where you can lure an enemy into a giant music box that crushes the victim between large gears before being tossed out lifeless. Yes, the game can be gruesome, but not overly so; there isn't a ton of blood, and limbs stay attached.I would say the disturbing things about the game would be some awful slowdown that can occur, along with some annoying load times, and some repetitive enemies. While no enemy has the same name, some tend to look similar and have some rather hokey names. Would you be afraid of someone called "Larva?" Yep, that's a name. Also, the game is subtitled with Japanese voice overs--something that kind of bugged me as well. You could read some dialog twice before a character is done talking. Thankfully, you can skip non essential cut-scenes, and the game is a nice length for what it is in having some nice replay included. You won't get all the traps and rooms the first time through, so going through more than once is fun and recommended as you can see different sides to the story of Princess Allura's plight to clear her name and avenge her family (there are different endings). Once through is definitely not enough. Plus, you can get special traps while keeping everything you collected the first run through (think New Game +), along with some stuff to see in your virtual museum that houses all the enemies you offed with their stats, along with other game info. There is also a survival mode where you have to quickly eliminate enemies before a counter finishes. I would say the good outweighs the bad of the game, and Trapt ends up being another excellent dark gem from Tecmo in being a worthy entry in the Deception line of games. If you were a fan of previous installments (especially Kagero), then this one's for you. And I can highly recommend it to anyone else looking for some rather unconventional gameplay in their library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gets rid of alot of pent up aggression, September 19, 2006

This review is from: Trapt (Video Game)

I came in from school and I was really angry. I figured I would unwind by playing videogames.My father picked up this game for me and I had yet to play it so I put it in the ps2 and was amazed. I played it for three hours and love it. The violence in the game is a great outlet and the deaths and combinations are loads of laughs.

I am not crazy or demented at all. Ask any player and they will tell you that the final words of the victims you kill are hilarious.

In this game you can combined your traps with stuff in the room. Like use a pushwall to knock someone into a wall of revolving spikes.

This game is extremely violent but as long as you don't take it seriously it is loads of fun and can relieve alot of pent up aggression.

Fun for people who played the Tecmo's Deception series. Not as much variety in this one, but the graphics are decent and it's still fun using the traps. The Dark Illusions are pretty nice for the most part.
