Review of Attack of the Graske by dema1020

25 May 2024

Attack of the Graske is still playable right here - https://video.eko.com/v/A67WXE?autoplay=true

It's something I rather gladly share because so many web-based Doctor Who games are completely dead. So to have something that was filmed with the TV crew and features an awful lot of David Tennant, it's definitely a big deal that the game still exists in some form.

Now, it's not the best game in the world. The controls in this surviving form are a little janky, and the gameplay is incredibly simplistic - it will basically keep going along the story even if you get something wrong, to the extent I think you can just watch this thing without actually interacting with the game at all (but to be fair, you won't get the good ending). Hey, at least like a proper Doctor Who But like the legendary game Dragon's Lair it uses a lot of prerecorded footage to give a unique Doctor Who experience that I think is very cool overall. I didn't know something like this existed so to stumble upon it is a very happy little surprise.

It's not the best story in the world and has some pretty rough dialogue, but stumbling onto a fully realized production was pretty exciting. The Graske isn't the most exciting but the make-up crew did a hell of an impressive job and they even did some fun stuff like put in a Slitheen appearance. it actually was CGI and didn't look as terrible as one might think for something low budget like this. Some of the cast were pretty awkward but most did a great job, and Tennant is a treasure as always. Not the best thing I've played by a wide mile, but it is neat for the novelty and it's fun to see the show in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
