Product Description
DISASTER REPORT is truly a new and original title that almost defies classification! With elements that include action/adventure, survival, mystery, and puzzle, Disaster Report offers more than just a test of your quick reflexes, but of your quick thinking skills as well!

Amazon.com Product Description
Disaster Report is an original title that defies easy classification, including as it does elements of action-adventure, survival, mystery, and puzzle-solving. The game places you in the role of a newspaper reporter stuck on an island that is being continuously hit with severe aftershocks from a major earthquake. The objective is not only to escape but to do so with as much of the story as possible behind the destruction of Capital City. Considering the government would like to keep the truth to itself, you'll soon find out that the wrath of nature may be less dangerous than upsetting the government's determination to maintain the status quo.

Love this game. The only thing I hate is the pan/camera function is ackward and minimally responsive. Other than that, love it!!

I Found this game to be challenging. When i had it i was young like 12 and it was too challenging for me so i did not really like it. But from what i can remember is had some good parts and now i wish i still had it. so overall i think this is for an older audience.

Bad controls ruin this game by Kenshiroking (San Diego, CA)

First off, let me start by saying I love the premise for this game. Running around a crumbling city saving survivors? Yes please. However, this game has a tragic and fatal flaw. With most games of this nature (third person exploration) the camera is controlled with the right thumbstick. Not so in this game. Moving the camera around involves shifting to a cumbersome first person view, or simple pressing a button to move the camera behind you. Not such a problem? Well, when an aftershock occurs and you're in the middle of several tall buildings, how does one look up? By stopping moving, entering first person, then panning the camera up. This gives a falling piece of rubble plenty of time to fall from the sky and kill you, without you even knowing where it came from. After spending several frustrating hours playing the game until an unforseen chunk of rubble killed me, then restoring and playing back to the same part to avoid said piece of rubble by experience, I had had enough. There is no excuse for designing a control scheme that goes counter to the industry standard.

Unique role-playing fun...if you like earthquakes, that is... by Mr. Mark (Miami, FL)

This is a good game with a great concept. The sound effects and scale really bring you into the experience in ways the graphics fail to do. If you place more emphasis on gameplay, you'll find this to be a rewarding, unique game. My biggest issue is not with the game, but the delivery from Target and the way it's represented on Amazon. The game was shipped by USPS even though Amazon said it was via UPS. Since UPS doesn't ship to PO Boxes, Amazon said I had to have this sent to my home address. This caused me to run a series of errands to pick up my package since my home mailbox is too small to fit a game into. If I knew it was going to be shipped via USPS, I would have had it sent to my PO Box along with the rest of the stuff on my order.

I had a friend a few years ago who would make his own games, his own 3D games. This game reminds me of those...erm, "efforts" of his. Camera can be pretty frustrating, graphics are a little "dated", and major slowdown happens if you dare do something action-packed like "running." But once you accept the fact that the game was made in somebody's basement, it's really not so bad and kind of interesting. I like the way you need to have water (adds to the whole "disaster" feel), but they have enough in the game to keep it "fun" not "frustrating." The tremors that keep going on are kind of neat, but most of the time they just feel like plot devices ("I think I'll bypass the restauraunt and go THIS way instead...WOW, the whole road just gave out! ...Guess I have to go through the restauraunt after all!"). They also do a great job handling items in this game. Your backpack really does have limits, although you can mix some items together to make more room. You can also throw out any item you don't need, so it's not especially frustrating - it just adds a nice, realistic touch to the game. It's also neat the way the things you equip to your character show up when you play - sunglasses, gloves, etc. Nice touch. So if you're looking for a mildly entertaining bargain-bin game that offers something a little different...and you've already played all the lost gems you'll find there, you could do worse than Disaster Report
