That's right the dynamic team of Elwood and Jake that have caused much mayhem and destruction in their many adventures so long ago, are once again on a mission. It is not from god this time around, but still that will not stop our two heroes from doing their duty. As they go forth to prevent a possible world war! That's right it is so big we could have another world war, how and why well you will see. In Blues Brother RPG, we have a generally good game, with an interesting story, some great music, and an easy to pick up battle system. However, no save points and the process of if one of your characters dies, you have to start over make this a tough game to beat. The story begins with Elwood being released from prison and meeting his brother Jake outside, who tells him some shocking details. First, it appears he has another brother! A long lost brother that Elwood never knew about and second he is in jail. Wells according to Jake, the reason he is in jail was that he was trying to build a 1/100th-scale model of the Columbia space shuttle. Apparently, it will be launched to destroy a satellite in the atmosphere and thus prevent another world war from breaking out. Wells quite the plot isn't it? Firstly the game uses the real time system of an RPG; Meaning that all battles are fought in real time, that's the best way to put it. Basically it comes down to who gets the first in you or your opponent, a good choice in this sort of game. Graphically the game looks well-done overall. A lot of effort went into the game it seems, with the different environments and locations, you visit, and it looks very nice. Although the story is shall we say pretty out there, it still is entertaining and interesting to play through, as that's the goal of the game, a silly goal but a goal nevertheless. Personally I enjoyed the blues type of music for the game, it makes sense with it being the Blues Brother after all and if you've seen the movies, then this sort of music fits. Some nice choices were used, minus the main theme music, which would have been nice to hear. Now here's the thing, it's an RPG right, so um why is there no save points? RPG's rule fact of sorts says that there should be save points. Okay maybe it doesn't say that, but really, an RPG without save points? Oh my well there is none here, so you have to beat the game in one sitting yay. As well, if one of your characters die, either Elwood or Jake, then the game ends, and you have to start from the beginning. So yes, this can be very frustrating. As well, the game doesn't really have all the elements of an RPG. There is no real leveling up that I noticed, you don't collect weapons, you have a health meter, and there is battling in real time but just doesn't seem wholly RPGish I suppose. Still this was an amusing title with the whole Blues Brother concept and was interesting to try. So if you're interested in this sort of idea, give it a shot, it's called Blues Brothers RPG.
