Gameplay
2/10
This is a bit tricky to grade as gameplay can be simply judged on on the game is played. This is not a game, however. It's a movie. The movie aspect is original, but the interaction the player makes with the interface is minimal... Not to mention the movie is fairly short.

Graphics
7/10
It all comes down to whether the game look good or not, and this game does come a bit short. The sprites for the Rodpop character and his love both seem to be new to me, and are of good quality. I have also spotted a lot of screen panning at the beginning which was actually visually pleasing. My biggest concern is the Screen Tone that is used to represent night. It's so bright, it looks like a blueish day. I also want to point out the ugly green system that was not doing justice to the story or theme.

Sounds and Tunes
7/10
The music is actually thoughtfully selected. However, there are times when there is no music at all... that made me sad. Also, I couldn't get over the fact that that Title Screen music is from Donkey Kong. I couldn't help but think about monkeys. >.<

Story
10/10
The story in this is what really makes it what it is. A movie.
It is obvious that many things have been taken into consideration and I like the fact that Rodpop has based this story on the story of his online identity. It makes me want to copy that idea for myself. >3
Though things ended kinda fast, I know there is a second movie, and I have it. I will be watching it sometime soon. I just pray it's longer than the first.

Features
9/10
This area is pleasing as well. This movie comes with all sorts of extras, as if it were a real DVD. There are blooper, deleted scenes, the works. My only one concern is, when I saw deleted scenes, I thought to myself, "If he hadn't deleted those scenes, this movie would be a lot longer."

Calculation
((2+7+7+10+9)x 2 = 70)

Overall rating:
70 - Well, I liked it.

If you're looking to play a really difficult RPG with loads of quests, this is not the game for you. If you've got free time and are willing to sit back and watch a pseudo-movie, download this.
It's a good story... and when it's all over there are all sorts of extras you can check out.
I found the bloopers to be hilarious.
