When Activision planned to
make Blue Stinger a launch title,
they
where expecting the game to be a
Dreamcast version of Resident Evil: Code
Veronica. They were expecting big things,
and so was the developer, Climax
Graphics. Blue Stinger is sort of the
same storyline as Resident Evil, your
lost in an island filled with zombies.
You'll have to kill all the zombies, find
stuff and try to get the hell out of the
island. Blue Stinger is sort of like a
clone of a Resident Evil game, something
went wrong and the clone wasn't as
perfect as the original.
The storyline is pretty
interesting, you begin as Eliot, a
sea-rescue expert. Eliot is in the Gulf
of Mexico with a friend when suddenly, a
metoer crashes on a nearby island called
Dinasaur Island. Eliot's friend dies, but
he survives, and finds himself at island
docks. At the docks he meets this wierd
creature called Nephilim. You'll have to
explore the island, looking for clues,
sometimes nephilim will help you out with
clues. After a little while, you'll get
to play as Dogs, an heavy weapsons
expert. You'll be able to
switch characters between the game.
Here's a brief rundown of the characters:
Eliot Ballade, a
28 year old sea disaster expert. Time to time,
you'll see him flirt with Jenine.
Jenine King is a 24 year old computer
wizard, who works for the Dinasaur Island
security.
Dogs is a muncho heavy weapons expert. He
operates a ferry service in the mainland.
Has a secret past, and won't tell anyone.
Nephilim is an angel like creature who
follows Eliot through the missions.
Sometimes gives clues, but nobody knows
the reason why she's in the game.

Blue Stinger
offers lots of missions, some are small
and easy, some are long and confusing.
There really isn't a lot of zombies
swirming around like in Resident Evil,
and but there are a lot of bosses.
Some of the negative
things about this game is the camera
angles. Its just horrilbe,the camera goes
all over the place. There isn't a lot of
zombies to shoot at. There are also some
positive things like the graphics. The
amount of detail on the island and
zombies is pretty cool. The graphics on
the characters could've been better, but
I still considered it very good.
Overall, Blue Stinger is a
pretty good game, although its no
Resident Evil. Around the time of the
launch, I would've said this game rocks.
But now, with other great games coming
out like Zombie Revenge, Carrier, and
Resident Evil: Code Veronica, I don't
think this game is all that.
