Publisher's description of A Horribly 3D Halloween Screen Saver

From Useless Creations:

Kids on their way home from trick-or-treating decide to take a shortcut through the Spookyville Cemetery. However, the ghosts who dwell within have been without candy for far too long and have decided to steal it from any kid who comes their way. This fun 3D screensaver truly is like none you've seen before. The kids run from the ghosts in a fully 3D cemetery, and there are heaps of costumes for them to wear, including Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Yoda, and Halloween favorites such as pirates, skeletons, and witches.

Version 2.05 adds bats flying overhead and more costumes; ghosts now have a glowing effect; and some small bugs are fixed.

With its dramatic camera work, you may find yourself watching this Halloween-themed screensaver instead of getting to work. When the screensaver kicks in, it shows children wearing Halloween costumes walking into a graveyard and being pursued by ghosts. The 3D work, though not game-quality, is good enough for a screensaver. We particularly like how the camera view zips around from character to character, adding a bit of cinematic action to the screensaver. The background music also works very well with the visuals, although we would have liked some sound effects as well. The settings panel, though visually rough, lets you adjust many aspects of the screensaver that will help it run better on slower machines or provide a more customized experience. Unfortunately, the trial time is short, interrupting the screensaver after about a minute, so we weren't able to see whether the ghosts actually catch the children. This screensaver works well as a seasonal novelty that will get coworkers crowded around your cubicle or that will merely put you in the Halloween spirit.

  Version: A Horribly 3D Halloween Screen Saver 2.05

  "horrible is right, not worth buying OR trying."

  by x revenge x3 on October 18, 2007

  Cons: 1.) My computer is very fast, and this moved incredibly slow.

  2.) The graphics are very poor in quality.

  3.) The screen saver is not even clearing from my computer like most files etc. do.

  4.) Trial version has all these words flashing about it not being registered, blocking out the picture.

  "SSSLLLOOOWWW, couldn't get it to work correctly, & don't wait 15min to see!"

  by csstone on October 22, 2007

  Cons: This program just ran SO Slowly, and the graphics were frankly fairly juvenile and archaic! I waited over 20-25 minutes (literally!) for the program to run through even once, and I STILL never got to see the "point" of the story; DELETED it immediately.
