Blue Stinger is an early survival horror title for the Dreamcast, but it might just be the most entertaining game of all time. It’s like a cheesy action movie packed with absolutely ridiculous voice acting, dialog and situations. I can’t think of another game where you’ll find the main characters taking a bath in the middle of a viral outbreak and talking about how macho the other’s body is.
The game takes place on Christmas Eve. There’s such a high level of attention to detail in the shopping district of the town, which is completely covered in Christmas advertisements and decorations, complete with holiday shopping music in the background as your beat zombies to death with whatever weapon you have.
Speaking of weapons, there are a ton of them. You get rocket launchers, lightsabers, tasers, gatling guns, napalm launchers. There are even t-shirts that let a character perform martial arts and wrestling moves. There’s just a huge variety of stuff here.
The only problem? The controls are stiff and awkward, and it’s a giant keycard fetch quest. But man, who needs good gameplay when everything else is simply amazing?
