Bible Adventures

The Good
There is nothing wrong, in theory, with a Biblical video game. The industry has tried, with mixed results, to get more women to play games and their is no reason why a similar effort can not be made with people based on other factors, i.e. gender, social class, career, religion, politics, disability or sexual orientation....in theory.

The Bad
The Bible Adventures offers three mini-games to choose from, which are very loosely based on Biblical stories and are made for very young children. The game features inferior graphics, music and sound effects alongside control mechanics that are as odd as they are sloppy. None of them are fun. People are unlikely going to develop a greater interest in or respect for the Bible after playing these games.

The Bottom Line
The Bible Adventures is a poorly designed video game for very young children. It is entirely appropriate that games, like novels, comics, music, films and TV shows, be made for the general consumer as well as for more specific demographics. Why not make a good game for people who enjoyed the 'Passion of the Christ' or 'Brokeback Mountain' films? Sadly, it would seem that the makers of this game hoped to sell the game based on the idea, with little regard for quality or playability.
