I never watched the original Charlie’s Angels. I remember I watched the movie, Full Throttle, which probably explains my deep seeded hatred for the series. And hey, with a new movie out that toi wouldn’t know was out unless I told toi (And no, toi didn’t watch. If toi tell me otherwise, you’re lying), now is a great time to play Charlie’s anges on the Gamecube. Published par the kings of aléatoire publishing, Ubisoft, Charlie’s anges is considered to be the worst license game out there, nothing else compared. I don’t have much say in the matter before I play it, but… yeah, I can feel it just from the start.



So the titre screen has this obnoxious intro song that sounds very 2000s that loops over and over. Also, press A for Valid. Because accept was just too lame. So the story is simple. Someone blacks out all of New York for three secondes and steals the Statue of Liberty. Apparently, this is a team of serial thieves that steal national monuments, so they hire the Angles to deal with it, and… ugh, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore do not render well in CGI cutscenes… is what I thought until got to the gameplay. This one aléatoire NPC looks fine, but Cameron… oh my god, Cameron baby, what the fuck did they do to you? Her lips are all curled up in this twisted grin and she has this issue with male pattern baldness. As soon as I take a step to the right (With an uncomfortably close camera that already makes me feel ill) I get attacked par these lifeguards and swim suit models. They just come running at me, ready to beat the shit out of me. But of course, they can’t get passed my defenses of… spinning around in one spot as they walked toward me and I knock them down. Also, when toi jump, toi float slowly to the ground. Yeah, it’s that Godai shit again. I thought I was done with that stupid game. As toi go through the level, the game has this annoying habit of using invisible walls right behind toi and locking toi from backtracking. In beatemups it’s fine because the screen moves with you, but in a 3D environment, it just looks off.
So after that really fun level, we déplacer onto Lucy’s character, who looks pretty bad herself. Kinda looks like a those PS1 Harry Potter models, but with a broken spine. So her style is the exact same, just pick the déplacer that can hit plus than one enemy and spam that shit like there’s no tomorrow. I also found out here that enemies can throw weapons, whenever they feel like it. Especially offscreen. So get used to having a good chunk of your health removed because of an attack toi couldn’t see coming. And the ladder, the part a lot of people talk about in this game. I counted, it takes thirty four secondes to get to the haut, retour au début and toi have to keep holding the D-pad up the entire time. toi know what else had a long ladder? Metal Gear Solid 3. Actually, I looked into it. Charlie’s anges came out one an before MGS3. So did Hideo Kojima look at the brilliance of Charlie’s anges on Gamecube’s ladder sequence and rip it off completely? Kojima, toi were a fraud before your Death Stranding Game Awards 2019 fiasco! Anyway, we get to Barrymore’s character and she looks like she’s got the Michael Meyers mask on, and yes, that is the best looking one. But she plays the worst. Her attacks are way too slow and enemies will always knock your cul, ass around before toi even have a chance of hitting them. toi just gotta hope they stay in their dumb A.I. stance and hope they all die before toi do. Oh, also, that was all one level. The seconde level is the same shit. Just beat up guys and hope they die before your thumbs wear out from all the button mashing. But now we talk about the biggest issue. The looping level. Not even an heure into the game, on the seconde level, the game loops. toi are stuck on the seconde level and cannot progress. This is because the game is programmed poorly… Shocker, I know. It was programmed to only continue if toi have a Gamecube memory card inserted. I played this on my Wii and had absolutely no intention of saving this game onto my memory card with Wind Waker, Melee, Resident Evil 4, and Killer7, so…. Review over!
Charlie’s anges on Gamecube is the most boring game I’ve ever played in my entire life. Not only that, but it just makes your thumb sore from the constant button mashing. And with the multitude of other technical issues from the ugly character mannequins to bad level design to the infamous game breaking glitch, this is one of the worst. But is it worse than Full Throttle… Yeah, I’ll have to get back to toi on that one.
