Intro Reviews Reviewed by Pride of LeMoN. I have made a fast review of some of the intros released lately. I have given them some points, but they should not be taken too serious, remember it's only my opinion. And remember, if an intro get 7/10 it doesn't have to be as good as a demo who gets the same points. The points are given with the size of the intro and other important things in mind. Hope you will get something out of it. Ok let's go on... Delicious Intro Coding by : Rich Graphics by : Elwood Music by : Daddy Freddy Coding - This is an one screen intro, so there is only one effect in it. And that's a filled vector cube, with another cube on 4 sides (why not all of them??). The vector looks ok, and is running quite smooth. Because of only one effect my rating must be >> 5/ 10 << Graphics - There's a black and white logo in the top of the screen, and I must say that it's certainly not up to Elwood's normally high standard. The scroller and writer font (which is the same) is nice. My rating... >> 6 /10 << Music - The music is not a chip tune which you could expect in a small intro like this. It's a nice tune, a big wierd maybe, but I liked it. It's hard to explain, but check it out yourself. My rating... >> 7 / 10 << Design - Well, it can be hard to make nice design in a one screen intro, and infact there is not much design here either. My rating... >> 3 / 10 << Coding : ***** 5 / 10 Graphics : ****** 6 / 10 Music : ******* 7 / 10 Design : *** 3 / 10 Overall : ****** 6 / 10 Destroy Fascism by Angels Coding by : Ninja Graphics by : Mic Music by : Latyl Coding - This intro was released at the Saturne party. And I think it won the intro competition there. And it's a quite nice intro, with some nice effects. I can mention rubber glenz, normanl vectors, line tunnel, fractals, dot transforming, color cycle vector and dot tunnel. There also some not very nice effects like a vector cube with hidden lines and some balls inside. I think we saw that for the first time for 2 years ago. All in all a good job by Ninja. My rating will be... >> 7 / 10 << Graphics - Well there's not much gfx here. I can only think of one logo and some normal fonts. and the logo is nothing special, so my rating can't be higher than... >> 5 / 10 << Music - The first time I heard that tune, I felt in love with it. It's a little chip tune, but the melody is wonderfull. And melody is something amiga music is in need of. So my rating must be... >> 8 / 10 << Design - The design is quite ok. As usual the screen is made of a vector plate comming towards you and forming the screen, and the flying away when the effects are shown. Nice but nothing special. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Coding : ******* 7 / 10 Graphics : ***** 5 / 10 Music : ******** 8 / 10 Design : ****** 6 / 10 Overall : ******* 7 / 10 What's Up Doc? by Intence Coding by : Dr.Manhattan Graphics by : Geist Music by : EAD Coding - This intro contains a dot balls witha filled cube inside, some fractals, gfx zoom and an upscroller in the end. That's all. It's far too short, and no new ideas. So my rating must be... >> 5 / 10 << Graphics - The only gfx there are is a logo in the beginning which is ok, and a font in the end. Really nothing to talk about. My rating... >> 5 / 10 << Music - The tune is nothing special, but still it's the best part of this intro. Really nothing more to say about that. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Design - Not much, but some nice links between the few parts. Rating.. >> 5 / 10 << Coding : ***** 5 / 10 Graphics : ***** 5 / 10 Music : ****** 6 / 10 Design : ***** 5 / 10 Overall : ***** 5 / 10 Stellar Intro Coding by : Moonshine Graphics by : Frankie Music by : Strobo Coding - Another one screen intro from the intro masters Stellar. This intro contain one effect, some vector stars comming towards you, and turning to the left of your screen. It's looks pretty nice. In the buttom of the screen there's a scroller. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Graphics - A very nice Stellar logo is at the top of the screen. I like the logo very much because of the shape of it. Good work by Frankie. My rating... >> 8 / 10 << Music - Another nice tune by Strobo. It's up to his normal standard and high quality. It's a style of jazz tune or something like that. Very nice indeed!! My rating... >> 8 / 10 << Design - Not much design, but the design there is, is nice. In the beginning the screen is being drawn by some lines. Hard to explain, check it out yourself. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Coding : ****** 6 / 10 Graphics : ******** 8 / 10 Music : ******** 8 / 10 Design : ****** 6 / 10 Overall : ******* 7 / 10 Equation by Infect Coding by : Exidor Graphics by : Slime Music by : Hobbes Coding - This intro shows you a writer with a star flying around in the background, a square dot tunnel, dot routines, glenz vector changing to glenz and then transforming into different shapes. No new ideas but they are nice to look at anyway. My rating... >> 7 / 10 << Graphics - A nice graffiti logo in the beginning and also a nice title logo. That's all for the graphics, but it's nice. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Music - A standard chip tune. Nice melody but the tune could be a bit longer, it repeats itself many times during the intro. My rating... >> 7 / 10 << Design - There are infact alot of design. Nice links between all the parts, and that makes the intro looks even nicer. My rating... >> 8 / 10 << Coding : ******* 7 / 10 Graphics : ****** 6 / 10 Music : ******* 7 / 10 Design : ******** 8 / 10 Overall : ******* 7 / 10 Samurai by Alcatraz Coding by : Orbit Graphics by : ? Music by : Homocide Coding - In this intro you will see a line tunnel in different shapes, some wierd lines, a dot cube bending and transforming into other shapes. Again nothing new and all the routines looks like all others in other intros. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Graphics - Well this is the easy part because there is not gfx in this intro at all... Only a font... Then there is a nice animation made by Iluvatar, but no logos or anything My rating... >> 2 / 10 << Music - A very nice 26Kb techno inspired track by Homocide. I liked it very much, but that's maybe because I like techno. For non techno dudes I can image that it's not very pleasant to listen to. In my opinion the music keeps then ass up on this intro. My rating... >> 8 / 10 << Design - This is also a pretty easy part to describe. No part links or other things. In their scrolltext they write that the intro was made in half a week, and that can be seen on the lack of design. My rating... >> 4 / 10 << Coding : ****** 6 / 10 Graphics : ** 2 / 10 Music : ******** 8 / 10 Design : **** 4 / 10 Overall : ***** 5 / 10 Symbiostro by Cadaver Coding by : Joram Graphics by : Overload, Splatter Music by : Vin Coding - This intro is quite short, only a few effects are included. There are a filled vector cube (with alot of perspective!!), vector circles and shade bobs. No new ideas, but they looks ok. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Graphics - Overload have made a nice Cadaver logo, and Splatter made the nice fonts. Specially the scrollfont is cool. My rating... >> 7 / 10 << Music - Nothing special. A standard chip tune. The melody is ok. I don't think I can say more about that. My rating... >> 6 / 10 << Design - The design is not very good. There are no links between the parts. The effects are just smashed on the screen and then out again. It's not so nice to look at. My rating... >> 5 / 10 << Coding : ****** 6 / 10 Graphcis : ******* 7 / 10 Music : ****** 6 / 10 Design : ***** 5 / 10 Overall : ****** 6 / 10 That was all for this time. Hope you have found these reviews usefull in some way, and not too unfair. Pride / Lemon.
