Wrong Numbers Short and Sweet (1-3 Mission Arc Reviews)

Well it is looking like Wrong Number’s Ha Ha Hut has dried up on reviews so it is time to roll out my other review thread idea. I have always preferred playing shorter arcs and three of my current arcs are three missions and under. So, without further ado…..introducing Wrong Number’s Short and Sweet.


What to expect:

1) Your arc will be graded on the detailed explanation below.

2) When I rate an arc I generally never give less than stars 3 for anyone that makes a real effort even if they fall way short.

3) If you are looking for a long detailed blow by blow review of your arc you will be disappointed if you submit it here. My reviews will be short and sweet . I am in awe of reviewers like PW or MCM who do extremely detailed reviews, but I know myself and I would never be able to maintain that level of review for long.


What you need to do:

1) Play any of my arcs below. Whatever strikes your fancy. Note - If you have already played all of my arcs and it has been more than a month please pick one to replay. I am constantly updating and improving them(hopefully!).

Trademark Infringement (2220)
Death to Disco (84420)
In Poor Taste (259920)
Have a Blap, Blap, Blappy Day Kids! (2019)

2) Send me feedback in game and then post your request in the format below. You do not need to write a review of my arc though if you feel so inclined feel free to comment under the thread for that arc, that would be great.


Eligibility

1) Your submission needs to be between 1-3 missions.
2) No Defeat Alls unless it is a very small map.
3) Humor arcs should still be submitted to Wrong Number’s Ha Ha Hut .

Notes – (Anything special I should know about this arc)


Rating Format and Explanation

Story – Is there a story? Does it make sense? Is it original?

Fun Level – Was it fun? Did I enjoy my time playing it or was I dragging myself through it preying for it to end? Was I engaged?

Playability – Are the characters balanced? Are they level appropriate? Do I have to spend 30 minutes looking for the last glowie?

Polish – Do the customs have bios? Do the big bads have dialog? Are there clues? Does the arc have a souvenir? How do the customs look?

Let’s up it to 11! – My recommendations for improvements.

Overall Rating – Would I recommend it and the arcs final star rating.

I will continue to be a review [censored] by submitting:

Matchstick Women #3369
@Bubbawheat
3 missions
Notes - Lots of fire customs and a couple re-colors, one EB just a notch above standard difficulty, with no defensive powersets.

I'll check up on In Poor Taste shortly, haven't played that one yet.

Title: Anger Management: The Trials of a Council General
Arc ID: 286535
Creator’s Global Name: @Austara
Mission Count: 3


Story – From the title I was expecting humor, but that was not the case. Basically, you repeatedly hunt down a council boss that somehow gets away each time you catch him. The motivations assigned to the character playing the arc did not feel right and there were a few too many "give mes" for my taste. 3.0 Stars

Fun Level – Reasonably fun, though the last mission was what I call "go make a sandwich". 3.5 Stars

Playability – Perfect up till the last mission where I had six bosses "helping" me. I stood back and just watched the last EB get the snot beat out of him. 3.5

Polish – Overal nicely polished with nice customs, good bios, interesting dialog and text most any where it could be inserted. I do need to minus .5 a star because all of the customs were in the group "NPCs". 4.5 stars

Overall Rating – 3.6 Stars


Let’s up it to 11! – Separate your NPCs into proper groups, get rid of the silly dancing animation from the Council guarding stuff, the six helpers are way overkill so either remove most of them or make them non-combat or make them Lts., revisit your story and punch it up.

Title: Stealing from the Midnighters
Arc ID: 26496
Creator’s Global Name: @Blackwolfe
Mission Count: 1
Notes – Extreme Elite Bosses



Story – This is a one mission arc so as you might expect there is not much story, however the story that is there is good. 4 stars.

Fun Level – The diversity of powers and looks of the customs held my interest through the overpowered big bad almost ruined it for me. Had I not been a /dark MM this could have been a mission I could not have finished. 4 Stars.

Playability – Does the final boss really need a self heal that will take them from near death to full health? I think not. The last room is loaded with bosses, but they are optional. 3.5 Stars.

Polish – I enjoyed all the customs quite a bit and thought their bios were all well written. You contact though still has "Contact Hologram" over her head. 4.5 Stars

Overall Rating – 4 stars, but better bring your big guns for this one.


Let’s up it to 11! – Tone down the Big Bad, give your contact a name and add a souvenir.

Title: Rider's Ribs Restaurant Rescue
Arc ID: 163967
Creator’s Global Name: @Zamuel
Mission Count: 3
Notes – I was intriguingly undecided on whether to submit this here or to the humor arc thread

Last call for submissions before I shut this review thread down!

Hmm, how about a not so romantic RomCom? Perhaps a bit to much comedy for this arc but I leave that to your discretion

Love spurned 1934 Can you help out a desperate guy?
Hanging out in Pocket D can become hazardous, you never know when a desperate guy (one of my favorite NPC's over there) spots you and request your help. This was supposed to be your evening of.

Warning, this arc comes with the WORST custom costumes possible. You have been warned, mental health can be in jeopardy here.


And about your arcs, sounds familiar, done that one before. Hmmm got one that does not rign a bell, will give it a try.
