Product Description ------------------- You are Mr Moskeeto, a uninvited guest in the Yamada family home in Japan. In order to store enough food for the coming winter, you need to drink as much of the family members' precious blood as possible while they are in bed, talking on the phone, watching TV, or taking a bath. The Yamada family knows you are in the house, and they have plans to take you out. Deadly insecticides fill the air, and members of the family can crush you like a bug (well, actually, you are a bug). You want a taste of their plasma, they want you dead--something's gotta give. You can fly through and explore the 12 levels of the Yamada household searching for victims and using stealth to get the job done, or prepare for air combat as you do deadly battle with human inhabitants. Watch as family members' relationships disintegrate as they take out their on each other. .co.uk Review ------------- It's wrong to love Mr Moskeeto. Wrong because of the repetitive gameplay, the lacklustre graphics, and the awkwardness of the controls. We could also mention the repetitive dialogue, laughable AI, and interminable load times. And did we mention how short it is? But somehow none of this matters if, like we did, you fall for the charm and originality of this game. You play as a nameless mosquito whose job it is to suck the blood of the Yamada family. There are only two modes, battle and suck. To suck blood you have to first hover around and wait for a target area to flash red somewhere on your victim's body, then swoop in, pierce the skin, and extract blood by twirling the right analog stick. Suck too fast or too long and you're liable to get swatted, a e you can avoid if you keep a close eye on the victim's "stress meter". If you are spotted, you must battle your victims by trying to bump the "relax spots" on their bodies that make them chill out and forget you're there (this part doesn't make a whole lot of sense). The voyeuristic aspects of Mr Moskeeto have gotten a lot of attention, especially the infamous scene in which you suck the blood of the Yamadas' teenage daughter as she takes a bath, but the game stops well short of anything that would have gotten it even a 15 rating.--David Stoesz P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Manufacturer's Description -------------------------- Mr Moskeeto is a little bit different. You play a mosquito who's found himself in the home of the Yamada family, and, being a mosquito, your job is to drain the poor Yamadas of as much blood as possible. Welcome to the world's newest gaming genre: the parasite simulator! Sucking the Yamadas dry is not as easy as it sounds, however. Controlling your parasite is simple enough, but a good deal of stealth is required if you're going to land on your target's skin unnoticed. If your prey spots you, expect to be attacked with insecticide, or just smacked out of the air. Caution is even required when you've landed and are tucking in - suck their blood too enthusiastically, and you'll be spotted and squashed before you can blink. All in a day's work for our six-legged friend in this enjoyably peculiar game... See more ( javascript:void(0) )
