| Guillermo's Thoughts: |
(Review based on the Spanish translation.) Much like Galactic Raiders, The Weird Zone is designed so that the scoring system rewards careful choice-making. It is certainly an above-average gamebook, with entertaining writing and several non-obvious choices. My only complaint is that the three endings which give the highest scores are located right next to each other in the decision tree; if they had been scattered throughout the book gameplay would have been still more interesting. If you can overlook this flaw, you'll have a lot of fun with the book. |
| Shadeheart's Thoughts: |
[Rating: 1/10] Uninspired, dull and lifeless, in what could have been a fun experience the Star Challenge series enters another unrecommendable title into its already unappealing set of titles with "The Weird Zone". Devoid of both entertainment value and sheer spirit, blast away from this title far into the stars and don't feel the need to look back; you'll be missing nothing if you disregard this droning challenge to read through. ^^ (Mysteriously disappears into the shadows.) |
