Game Reviews: The Mad Murderer vs Twisted Murderer

In this new series of reviews, I will be reviewing the main 4 Murder games on ROBLOX. The winner of this versus review and the Murder Mystery vs Murder will go to a final review, where they will be ranked against different criteria... so without further or do...

THE MAD MURDERER by loleris



Idea: 4/10
The idea of this game is not original. Its as simple as that. Despite this, it does earn some credit for having a Murderer Madness mode which does spice up the game.

Gameplay: 8/10
Gameplay here is very fun, you know what to do - someone is the murderer, someone is the sheriff and the rest are innocents. The gameplay is simple and every so often there's a "Murderer Madness" round where everyone is the murderer, and this spices up the game a little bit to stop it from becoming repetitive. 
Environment: 6/10
The environments here are fairly interesting but theres only 5 and so you end up playing them a lot. They aren't very detailed either and the game could seriously do with some more maps.

Enjoyment: 8/10
This game is pretty enjoyable. There is a deep satisfaction to being the murderer and winning, or saving all those innocents when you're the Sheriff. There are game passes available for outrageous prices that can make you the murderer more often and this is one negative of the game. The game seems pretty enjoyable though so I'll give it a 8. 




Scripting: 9/10
The scripting in this game is very good and is almost faultless. There are some issues, most notably with the lag during the intro that causes the sounds to all play over each other. The intro itself though is nicely done and this game has good scripting polish.


TWISTED MURDERER by Taymastar

Idea: 6/10
Although the idea is as unoriginal as TMMs, this has SIX modes that really make the game different. Its them modes that meant I rated it a 6/10 for the idea

Gameplay: 7/10
Although theres lots of different modes to play, the game didn't really feel very fun. The way to play the game didn't come as easily as The Mad Murderer and the game didn't seem quite so fluid or polished. The maps are much larger here and sometimes it was a bit boring being the innocent, something that wasn't so true in The Mad Murderer. Theres also some nice features to rank up your player with perks and gun textures etc. Theres seems to be more of these in this game than in TMM.




Environment: 6/10
The lobby is beautiful in this place, but unfortunately the maps are limited. They are quite large but I ended up playing the same one 4 times in a row. I didn't get to see any more than 2 during my time in the game and this meant it was fairly boring and repetitive.





Enjoyment: 5/10
Sadly, the lack of map changes meant this game felt too repetitive and I was bored after just a few rounds of this. Your chance of being the murderer goes up very slowly too and I never got to be the Murderer in my 20 minutes of playing this game. The game needed more action, and the long times waiting for the map to load meant I felt even more bored.

Scripting: 8/10
There are plenty of perks in this game and features that meant this was probably a large undertaking of scripting work. However it doesn't really feel fluid and I found the game was lacking - especially in its long map load times which were unjustifiably long, and the terrible round ending music which was just annoying and didn't feel polished in the slightest. The multiple modes is something this game has that TMM doesn't and does add points.
