VIP: Bad TV Show Even WORSE Game - Just Bad Games

Storyline (what happens)

• V.I.P. (Beverly Hills personal security agency) gets a call from Dr. Kindle, who requests protection because armed men are roaming his property while he claims he’s “in the middle of surgery.”
• The team rushes to Kindle’s mansion, and the plot rapidly becomes chaotic:
  • Enemies invade.
  • Dr. Kindle and two protectors are kidnapped.
  • A separate team is shown hacking at a convention center.
  • However, the cutscenes don’t match who is where at any given time.
• Due to continuing inconsistencies, the remaining characters find notes about the kidnapping and a looming bomb, then rush to defuse it—despite the story and scenes feeling disconnected and broken.
• The game keeps pushing forward with increasingly ridiculous action sequences until a final boss, where winning is effectively triggered by basic button-spamming/auto-actions rather than skillful combat.
• The ending cutscene delivers more absurd dialogue and jokes about cosmetic surgery/facelifts, ultimately reinforcing the impression that the game is simply “bad.”

Gameplay highlights (and what stands out negatively)

• The game repeatedly attempts to blend genres into one package, but the result is inconsistent:
  • Rhythm-game-like melee prompts (DDR-style button taps in the center of the screen).
  • Shooting sequences that, according to commentary, often collapse back into the same prompt-based behavior.
  • “Beat ’em up” style fights that still depend on timed quick-input button prompts.
• Quick-time events dominate nearly every interaction:
  • Combat, stealth attempts, and even hacking-related moments are frequently presented as button prompt repetition.
• Hacking is portrayed as simplistic:
  • Early hacking resembles moving lines to match a background pattern—described as “not really puzzling.”
  • Later hacking is likened to slidy desktop puzzles with little visual flair.
• No checkpoints (as described):
  • If you fail, you restart the beginning of the level, making the prompt-heavy design feel especially punishing.
• Power-ups and progression:
  • Collect gems for extra health, power, and points.
  • Points unlock gallery images and even allow replaying cutscenes.
• Set pieces escalate into more frantic prompt inputs:
  • Button combinations become longer and timing windows shrink.
  • The commentator notes finger strain and rapid input requirements.
• Combat climax structure:
  • Bosses exist, including one after a helicopter sequence, but the final boss is described as overly simple at the input level (repeatedly pressing a button / automatic takeover).

Key critiques / strategies or “tips” mentioned

• There aren’t practical player “strategies,” so much as repeated warnings about the design:
  • Expect nearly everything to be quick-time/prompt input, even when the genre suggests something else (e.g., stealth/hacking).
  • Don’t rely on plot clarity, due to frequent cutscene continuity errors (characters appearing, being kidnapped, or teleporting inconsistently).
  • With no checkpoints, the gameplay becomes “learn the prompts” while accepting brutal restart consequences.
