HonestGamers - JoeTheDestroyer's Operation Secret Storm review

Alan Charlesworth Sep 16, 2011

Interesting, though I find the 'US national bird' passage a bit...baffling. It's not like the US has a monopoly on eagles. There was that eagle boss in Link's Awakening; does the US-birdness of that also represent a problem?

Puzzling remarks aside, I appreciate the review not being too long. It gets the point across without filler.

'There would be tears and there would be strange laughter. Fierce births and deaths beneath umbrageous ceilings. And dreams, and violence, and disenchantment.'

Thanks, Sam.

The main thing with fighting the bald eagle is it makes as much sense as fighting Uncle Sam or Abraham Lincoln as a boss, being an American symbol and all. I think this game was trying to garner sales through patriotism, and having a patriotic symbol as an enemy or a boss is counterintuitive to what they were going for.

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

Ah, I see. Fair enough.
