The Great Pyramid for Pioneer LaserActive
10This time I made a video on a rare Pioneer LaserActive title, one that is not much of a game for entertainment, but more for learning (Edutainment). This one is titled The Great Pyramid.
Please note: This video was not exactly made to show how "cool" the game is, (lord knows you didn't sub for these type of videos)...I just made this for YouTube since nobody has this video up and I want people to know before hand this is NOT a sequel/prequel to Pyramid Patrol.
It is a game to help teach about the Pyramids in Egypt. It does have a small game in it, but not in the way your thinking. You watch video segments and hit the A button when a prompt appears on the screen. Its a no brainer and not much fun. Mainly made for your kids.
What you see in this video is a real quick look at the MAP and a glance at the "Cheops Boat" game screen and the first 10 minutes of footage from the disc when you select "MAIN" from the menu.
The graphics in the game are minimal. You get a few overlay graphics from the Sega PAC, but really only for main menus. Basically the entire disc is FMV segments about Egypt and the Pyramids and surrounding areas.
The sound effects are non existant (at least that I have noticed). Like said before this is mainly all FMV segments.
The control in the game is also pretty much non existant. You control the pointer to where you want to go on the map and use the D Pad to change things in the menu, but thats basically it.
Bottom line: If you want to learn about the Pyramids in Egypt then its a decent edutainment title. Also worth collecting if you want all LaserActive titles. But if your looking for a killer game, then I suggest something else.
This disc is in 480i, and features Stereo sound.
