Trigger Man is a video game of the third-person shooter genre released in 2004 by Point of View.
In 2004, it was rated as Nintendo Power's Worst Game of The Year, making writer Alan Averill state, "If I had a choice between playing Trigger Man and getting kicked in the junk, I'd seriously have to think about it." [1] IGN claimed, "Sock puppets are more entertaining."
Reasons for Criticism
- Poor AI--the player can stand directly in front of an enemy and the enemy will not shoot (this has been debunked as a glitch)
- Minimal plot
- No ammo pickups
- All guns make the same sound
- Only 8 levels
- The player's inventory can hold only 2 guns at a time
- All enemies share the same skin
- Textures are only partially solid, opening up several ghost worlds
- Rather than voice acting, text boxes have been substituted.
- Graphics are of Nintendo 64 quality at the time of the "3D breakthrough"
