Neighbours From Hell is original and fun!, 6 Jun 2003
In Neighbours From Hell, you play Woody, and in each level, he creeps around his neighbour's house, playing tricks on him and generally getting his own back on the 'neighbour from hell'.
The game is in the style of a TV show, complete with audience laughs when you play a trick on the neighbour.Graphically, the game has a humorous 2D style which could be compared to 'Wallace and Gromit', with the house viewed as a cross-section. Basically, the idea of the game is to set up tricks on your neighbour without getting caught. You must collect items from around the neighbour's house, and set up tricks with these items.
These tricks can be anything from getting a banana skin from the bin and putting it on the floor for the neighbour to slip on, to swapping suntan lotion with honey! The controls are straight-forward and can be learnt quickly, and there are 3 short tutorials to do this.
The game is set over 14 levels, each level having its own theme. For example, there is a level called "Birthday Surprise", where the neighbour continually celebrates his birthday with a cake upstairs, and checks his mailbox for birthday cards downstairs. You must set the tricks up at the right time and hide where necessary, so in this case, you could put a mousetrap in the mailbox while the neighbour is busy upstairs. In each level there are various objectives, for example, complete at least 5 tricks in a certain time limit, and gain a certain viewer rating. (You can increase your rating by linking tricks together). It's hard to put Neighbours From Hell in a gaming genre, because it is so unique, but I would probably describe it as a strategy/action game.
It's original gameplay makes it an addictive game which is definitely worth checking out.
