Neighbors from hell offer an innovative concept as well as some hilarious moments, even at its short length.
As a game, Neighbors from hell offers an innovative concept as well as some hilarious moments. You take control over Woody, the star of the TV-show "Neighbors from hell". It's his job to ruin thw life of his neighbor, but also to make sure the show gets as many viewers as possible.
The way of causing disorder is simple: first you need to pick up items to set the traps with. After that, you click one of these items on an object you want to combine it with. Then you wait for the neighbor to walk into that trap and as he triggers that trap that also triggers a hysterical laugh attack within you. One thing that isn't so simple is that Woody can't be in the same room as the neighbor, or he will be brutally beaten, and even though it's funny to watch the first time around, it can get a little annoying after a while.
Controlling Woody is a simple matter. The mouse is everything you need in order to play the game. With the left mouse button Woody walks and with the right mouse button he sneaks, which is sometime necessary when the neighbors' pets are around.
What holds Neighbors from hell back is the fact that the game is short. Sure you might feel like playing the game again after beating it, but by then you have already seen every one of the traps and how the neighbor reacts after walking into them, giving the game very little replay value.
Neighbors from hell is a very funny game, but only the first times around. The concept, however is without a doubt the most innovative in years. Who wouldn't want to pay back their evil neighbor by putting a mousetrap in his mailbox or by gluing his photo album shut?
